Cant decide what to do with my cars apperaence

[ShadowHawk]

93 Firehawk style RA hood, lower it with a Pro Kit, 5% tint on the sides & back, slightly smoke all the lenses, not black, just darker, and use the same wheels but in black with polished lip (17x11 rears). DONE!!

Kind of like this but with the polished lip ZR1's. The all black is decent but it gets old. Just a little polish to offset the black will look amazing!! Oh, and don't convert the car to an LS1 TA appearance wise, that's tacky as hell imho. I love the LS1 TA's to death but there's NOTHING wrong with an LT1 formula...that was the 1 LT1 f-body they got right in the looks department! Why try to make it something it's not? That's lame.

Yea, that's all you man. It's your car, so you have to do whatever YOU like best, not everyone else. You'll find that a lot of people who think they know what looks good actually have no taste anyway.

Personally, I think the black w/polished lip looks incredible, but again, your call. Chrome on a black car is a classicly great look too. Whatever you do, stick to the LT1 formula overall look...they're damned sexy beasts!

As for the smoked thing I mentioned, check out this page of this thread. Just scroll til you see the pics. That VHT nightshade **** is a joke. Almost no one can do it right without it looking spray canned. I was thinking about contacting Whistler on LS1 Tech to do my lenses too. It looks amazing! It's a nice way to smoke the lenses out without having them TOTALLY black, and likewise useless at night.

If thats Gonzo's old car I can remember his paint being in pretty bad shape...id probably do that first...Think hes also still running a stock intake...though not an apperance mod its probably choking up that modded 6.0...Congrats on the car, been in it before. (its impossible to get in or out of w/ the roll bar) Cars a beast.

I think some emblems from emblem pro's are decent and cheap upgrade!

WHAAAT? The only wheels that are even sexier are the 30th anniversery rims!

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Thunder Justins chrome zr1's are fine, just clean em up.....concentrate on the hood and intake

The absolute first thing you need to do, right away, is ditch that cell phone tower called your antenna, and get a motorized one

a Wilson 1000 will look pretty bad *** on his car. Then he can have the nostalgic 2nd gen look he wanted!

Ram air hood, TA spoiler, and a paint job. done

Yup, a good solid detail will make it look like a brand new car.

Other than that, leave it, car looks good as is.

Ya im just fishing for ideas

[gonzo4886]

When I owned the car I wanted to put a glass tek ram air hood, new paint!, and maybe a black bird stripes.

[xrelapse13]

Honestly, with the LT1 birds, i prefer the normal hood over the ram air hood. I think the stock hoods look much sleeker. I would keep the hood, freshen up the paint, maybe throw on a t/a hatch, lower it and have a nice ride.

haha its already plenty low.i dont think ive come across a speed bump i havent scraped yet

I would keep the stock hood and hatch, get clear front turn signals, ditch the door moldings, and then look for new wheels.
