Re: My '91 Z28
To make long story short they ask if they reduced the price on the rims (these rims cost the same as the ones I orderd) would I keep it. SO to get to the point I got the rims, tires, chrome lugs and locks for $400 delivered.
And now guess what I learned to love the rims .

Re: My '91 Z28
Hey what do you meaneven with the louvers.... I did not like them until my body guy painted them the same as the car.
BTW the paint is original (except the bumpers and well louvers)

Re: My '91 Z28
I agree not only was it hard to find a pair that works well. It was almost impossible to find a pair that would fit. I really did not want to do the same old star. Everyone has that already.
I wanted a rim that I would not see on someone elses Third Gen

Re: My '91 Z28
Thanks
No I have not taken any pictures of the interior or engine.
I changed the seats to 4Gen leather that came out of a '99 Firebird. Look amazing. If and when i finally get it out of the shop I will snap some pictures of the inside.
i have not done anything to the motor yet!! So the pictures would be just another 305 TPI for now.

Re: My '91 Z28
I need your opinions. I was thinking off changing the hood to a RAM III.
I really love the clean llok of the car but as I see more of these I really love them..
What do you people think?

Re: My '91 Z28
I think it is called a RamAir II hood
Picture cam from Hawks
Where do you see swirl marks. There is alot of sun glare and a dirty camera lens. I actually juts had the car wet sanded and polished before the pictures.
However it has seen too many electronic washes

Re: My '91 Z28
swirl mark remover would probably take the swirls out fairly easy. As for the Ram Air II Hood.....This hood can look good....but it has to fit with the rest of the car. Stance, paint, wheels....this isn't just one of those hood you can install...and make it look right with the lines of our cars. A great example of this hood is on Camaroguy18's Camaro....looks amazing..

Re: My '91 Z28
Personally I don't like the pontiac hood on a maro.. I'd go with something else.. car looks great, don't really care for the louvres but thats all a matter of personal opinion.. nice car!

Re: My '91 Z28
This hood,
My car's in my garage. Was supposed to do a Tune up this weekend, but I got the parts late, and I was busy with other things. You gotta stop by one day so I can see that car man!

Re: My '91 Z28
i was thinking the same smlk. If i were you, i would invest my money in a PC and purchase some polishes such as Menzerna, Poorboys. Congrats on the new ride. These cars still have great style and hope things go well with yours.

Re: My '91 Z28
In one pic you can see it (2nd pic) The sun reflection is hitting on the hood, you clearly see all that hazyness/cobwebs around or on the hood blisters (also last pic on your taillamp/rearbumper) Most cars have swirl marks from ppl not knowing how to protect/maintain there paint correctly. Swirl marks come from improper washing/ carwashes/ improper usage with rotary/buffers/ or wiping it with a dirty rag/dirty paint. Its noticable esp on darker cars. My super low mileage 91 Z28 black used to have swirls all over the place. Then i bought a PC (Portle Cable orbital buffer) and got some polishes/sealant/waxes from AG with good quality Microfiber towels. Then no more swirls after! Also get some halogen lights, so you can see the "true imperfections". It took me about 6-7 hours and boy was it worth it! Im not trying to insult your car, its a sweet car. However, you can make that paint glow better then it was brandnew. Just giving out some advice.

If anything I would thank you for telling me things to do to make my ride better.

I always responded with that I had better sex (and more frequent) with the car. So yes I did love it more
