Does this look like ***


ok before we begin

1) I think this goes more in this forum because the bumper is changed some (body)

2) PRETEND THE LOUVERS ARE NOT ON THE CAR

3) Then give my your HONEST opinion on what you think the exhaust on this car looks like ??

It looks like a nice paint job you have on the Z28 there. However, the louvres are not really my kind of thing. And the exhaust set-up really doesn't tickle my fancy.

What is your exhaust set-up like on the inside of the car?

No offence intended, just my two cents.

I dont really like how it looks now, but if you space out the two double tips I think it would look much better (like on the vettes)

I think it sucks on the 4th gens, and I don't think much different of it here. At least here it doesn't require an extra added-on skirt to complete the effect like on the 4th gens. On the 4th gens, it looks like a cheap RKSport afterthought.

The car looks alright, I dont like the exhaust though. While I do like window louvers I dont care for the ones with the rear brake light inside the window there, the louvers look alot better when the brake light is in the spoiler.
