Don't forget the mudflaps with the chrome nake chic on them, the rear window louvers, and a 10 ft long CB antenna to complete the look.
If you're going to do it, go all the way!

Also, dont forget to add the 1" true duEl exhaust on it so when it runs 17.85 @ 81mph in the 1/4 at least it will SOUND fast.
Oh yeah, and a hood scoop for it.

Dude, if you do that you're going to need a 3/4 race cam to back up that look.
To to lift up the rear, the easiest way is to cut some 2x4s on block and place them in between the spring coils.
Now you'll be jacked up like a motha!

Also if yo do this you need to get one of those Hats with the built in MUL_LETT(apararently a banned word)..Thats a must...
Also dont add normal dual 1" exhaust... Instead you need dual 1" sidepipes...
finally to complete the look I suggest stopping by the local carry-out and picking up some Skoal and some PRB..

since everybody else is being so helpful. the easiet way would be go the gm dealer, and ask for spring isolators, make sure theyre for 93+, then just lower the rear, pop the old ones out, put the new ones in. should raise about an inch if thats what you want to do
Grab a pair of Hypercoil single-pigtail springs, 275# 12" free height should do the trick.
