I would add stock foglights and IROC stripes and door decals, similar to my car.

I don't particularly like the stripes/decals, and I took the stock fogs out for the mesh grill... thanks for the input though.

Thanks guys. My friend is going to have his ronals polished and is very much wanting me to do the same, but I'm just not sure. If I don't like it, there's not much I can do once it's been done....

Leave it alone. All you need now is more power and better suspension goodies.

maybe add fog lights, but other than that it looks damn good. Might drop it a little too.

Do nothing...it looks sharp the way it is!

I've seen that black 91-92Z in person, he lives around here... it's AWESOME. I wanted the polished version like his originally, but they disconitinued the wheels before I could save enough money to buy them in polished, so I got the ones from SLP.

Thanks for the comments everyone... not to bad for a 17 year old huh?

I'll get some good pics as soon as my strut brace comes in and I clean it up really well... not lookin the best right now... stupid Oklahoma weather... supposed to be 61* and not a cloud in the sky, but it's foggy and 100% humidity.. condensation on the ground... grrr... car got all dirty - DEATH TO WEATHERMEN!

You should do a 1" drop and go with some clear parking lights, thats all i would do to it and the rims look good not polished

Ya just drop it a bit and work on the interior, sound system, console and such. Also work on the engine so that not only does the car look great on the outside but also so your engine will rock the road.

I've got clear lenses in the fenders, it's just that there are amber bulbs in them. The parking lamps in the front bumper are new also, so they are crystal clear. It's already got the eibach pro-kit, but I've contemplated the sportlines or intrax springs lately... still debating. I'm gonna clean the **** out of the engine bay when my hotchkis strut tower brace gets in...

I agree with the drop it would look bad A$$. Other than that maybee switch to a newer bowtie grill, and you could mount some other lights behind the mesh, it looks pretty tight when you do that. $hitty pic here for ya

How big are those wheels? 18s? Personally i think they are a bit too big for the car, but they do not look bad by any means. Maybe just drop it an inch or so. Anyway, the car looks great. Got any interior pics for us?

No interior pics... it's not to great on the inside, working on getting that redone... Can't decide between 4th gen leather or a Corbea model. They're 17x9.5 Ronal R15/"Firehawk" wheels.
