I was thinkin that or just putting a nice set of rims on it but I kinda like how the gold goes with the pinstripes and emblems so I think it will stay as is for a little while anyhow.

Im going to do that eventually but its on there with some nasty adheasive so I dont want to mess the paint up so Im taking it in to the body shop to see if they can get it off when I have it in for the minor body work it needs.

great looking car.. I'm guessing its decently low mileage due to the gaps between the hood/headlights/bumper. definitly, DEFINITLY lose those chrome door edge things... I suggest trying to do it yourself before you send it to a shop.. and even if it does screw up the paint, try using a trim piece that's black so it won't stick out as much..

well I never thought about putting the black trim on if something happens when I take the trim off the doorsso I guess that sounds like a plan for when the weather gets a little nicer out with its next wash and wax. The milage isnt too awful bad, just a hair over 90k, for its year but you can tell the hood and nose were replaced at one point possably due to a minor fender bender which is why I think they line up so nice. The exhaust is a crappy stock one with those huge tips on it that the last owner put on, I however have a whole new set up sitting behind my toolbox at work awaiting spring so its all coming off and will all be new except the cat which will then have a pipe ran through it.

Not bad at all man. I kind of miss the Z though, although GTA seems to be more exciting

well thanks for all the kind words everyone. I miss the Z sometimes too, like the other day I was coming through town and saw it at a stoplight, then I come hime fire up the GTA and I feel much better with it than I did that car.

I agree. Quite lovely.

If you were considering doing anything with those wheels, I wouldn't. They look sharp.
