What should i do color wise??

Ima be gettin my 91 z28 painted and cant really decide know its gonna be black but idk if i want stripes or what. Also should i go no spoiler or keep the high rise one. This is a hard decision please give me any and all opions. Im thinking black and candy apple red rally stripes, and dont really know if i want a wing on or not.if somone could photoshop up what it would look like with cragers that would be awsome lol other wise just opionons would be great.

thanks nate

I say straight black with the Z spoiler, if you want stripes I'll go with charcoal gray stripes, or jus red hash marks on the fender like the GS corvettes.

Re: What should i do color wise??

Ight if i do any stripes its gonna be black and red casue my interior is red and silver (already thought about that) would look gay with a red interior. So im thinking the red stripes and the GS stripe think that would look nasty?

You could go gloss black with flat black stripes. Just an idea.

Re: What should i do color wise??

I kept my RS black with the red stipes, just changed the ones on the hood so they don't look so 70's. I used the correct color of red to match the stock stickers, but I also added a fiberglass hood as you can see.

Re: What should i do color wise??

If your car has the high rise , then keep it. It makes it a true Z28 & not a clone. I had the same delima, Im glad I kept it. I wanted a duck spoiler so I bought a 92' RS, now I have both

Re: What should i do color wise??

Yea i've got a similar situation. I do think your car would look awesome black with red stripes and the spoiler. Also i have seen some third gens with red detailing in the stock wheels. Mine is ultra blue and i'm thinkin I might want stripes and a cowl hood. So hard to decide

Hey MaxInfidelis. Just wondering who you bought the hood from. Is that a Hawks hood? or from some place else?

Hey guys, I have to apologize for my inexperience with this forum, I don’t always know when people are responding to my posts. Maybe someone can help me with that?

Thanks Travis, glad you like the look. With a hood you can always restore the original look, it’s not like it’s a permanent mod. So I would say get a hood for your car and see how you like it.

Glad I could help 91z28!

Jonathan I got the hood off of ebay and it was an auction by Hawks. The hood is very well made for the most part, but it does have some wavy spots, mainly on the left edge (driver’s side). I did not do much body work at all on it, all I did was fill the bubbles all over the surface with spot putty and primer. A good block sanding and some filler would have been a good idea.

Dude the 4 inch looks great. Thanks a lot man. My car is blue too. I need a paintjob because the clearcoat is peeling. Silver does go good with that blue though, so if you do silver gfx i'm sure it will look good. So I think i'm set on the 4 inch now.
----------
One more question. Does the 4 inch get in the way when you are driving? Can you still see plenty out of the winshield?

OK, that will work I guess, most forums have a note on the post itself so you can see at a glance, thanks.

The Ram Air hood is at least 4" high and it does not interfere with visibility at all.
