Thanks, I had a 84 Z28 that I completly restored. I spent about a couple of grand on the interior and the paint was immacullant. My dad rebuilt the trans and dropped a 350 in it. It was tight. But stupid me, i lost control of it doing a hundred and nicked the edge of a curb. I was lucky not to flip it but I tore up one of the fenders. The car still runs but it handles like ****. If anyone needs parts for the interior or anything let me know. But anyway this is my new money pit but it is totally worth it. The looks I get in this car are priceless.

-The hood with shipping and handling was $631.00.
-To paint the hood front bumper and back bumber including stripes was $1200.00
-The front ground effect and new front blinker lights was about $200 because my dad works for GM and gets a discount!
I guess it costed $2031.00

You should get a Z28 grille and a set of clear side markers. I would have gone with silver stripes, but I think the black looks pretty good, too.

i think if u just take off the grille and give it a nice coat of high gloss black spray paint that would look great. i did it to my car and i looked great

Or i should say how much would they cost me, without the discount

I think the new turn signals go for fifty a piece. I got them for 25 each but 50 is still not bad and it makes a huge difference on appearance. My other ones were so oxidezied that it look a pale yellow!!!

It is BRILLIANT RED. Everybody has been asking me the paint color!!! The photo might make it look different put it is a stock red matched to the factory paint. Some of the peoples computer screens might be a little off? The sunset orange looks cool but it is not close to my color.
You could try to clean the blinker lites the only problem is they tend to get fogged from the inside!!! That is what tends to discolot them. You could try, let me know if it works cuz if they come apart you might be able to just buy the front lense??? Dont take my word for it. The side marker lites are cheap!!! If you need them I could give you the ones off my 84 Z28 but I would recommed going on Ebay they sell those for a couple of bucks. They even sell the clear ones which look sweet. If you get thoose you would just have to change the lite bulb to a yellow color!!!!
