What do you think of this car?
Maybe with 35th anny stripes? Opinions on the hood? Clear corners?

i really don't like the hood, but clear corners look good on white. the hood also looks pretty horribly lined up.

i think it looks sweet and i agree the hood looks off a bit. stripes would look good too but i think that all white is pretty sex. maybe black mirrors? or some sort of grill? be it a billet or a chevy emblem or something. just my taste.

not crazy about the hood but maybe someone can 'shop some 35th anniversary decals on there and it'll make a difference.. might be a little awkward with the lines of the hood though

No one seems to really like the hood...
I have a white z, currently with that hood, billit grill, white mirrors, chrome ZR1s...

i dig the hood, i just think its lined up wrong. i suggested some sort of grill, the wheels look great chrome, and i thought black mirrors would help break the white up some. but its a good looker

I used to hate that hood, but I'm alright with it now. It's unique. I'd still prefer the SS hood if that monkey that I sold the car to hadn't f***ed it up before you got it, but the ultra Z looks decent.
So I say stick with the Ultra Z, NO on the clear lenses...too rice and the amber looks good on the car, and I never liked the billet grills, do the SLP bowtie like you were planning. And for the love of all things holy forget the RS style spoiler. It looks cheap. Larry pulls it off somehow, but in general I hate it. Go SS or keep the smoothie look of the Z spoiler. Ain't nothing wrong wth that. 
If you still had the chrome 10 spokes in good shape I'd say those, that hood, amber lenses, the SLP bowtie grill, 5% tint, smoke but don't "blackout" the tail lights, and a set of Eibachs for an overall look & stance that would scream "I eat babies"!

ultra Z hoods always look nice. another NO on clear lenses, i hate them, very very rice. im not into white cars at all though. just too plain looking, no shine to it. needs black mirrors too.

get the hood painted, get some badging for your car, maybe smoke out the tail lights/marker lights, leave your ZR1s on, if you don't like your y pipe on your car then lower it, get the fill ins for your tail light panel, get at least one z28 badge lol, if you do get the hood painted maybe leave it stripeless and get the gmmg stripes from fourth circle designs.
Oh and thanks matt (nighthawk355x) for blatantly calling my spoiler cheap, jerk. lol

I think it would look sweet with a wide center stripe, black or a dark color, going down the hood. I think it is a great hood, but it just needs some pop.

I like the clear corners on a white car too. I think some sort of stripe on the hood will really help it come alive though.

Ultra Z looks good, definitely needs clear corners, and I'd have to see a pic before voting yay/nay on the billet grill.
