:thumb: Lookin' good!

Who'd you go with for the hood and what shop did the paint? I'm in Great Bridge, btw..

you should take off the front plate depending how much cops around your area harass you.

Sweet looking ride, I love the new hood and mags. Makes it look alot better but I have to agree to get rid of the front plate. Go with a Bowtie grill and camaro decal. I took my front plate off my bird even though it's illegal. The cops really don't pull you over for it unless they are looking for an excuse to nail you. Most nice rides are left alone by the cops unless you're speeding or something.

The hood is OEM, bought it through e-Bay, same deal with the spoiler :D. I had them both painted at Bay Chevrolet on Military Hwy. and they did a fantastic job! :bow: (I lost a lot of sleep thinking they would not match the paint properly)

As far as the front plate is concerned, well, I tried it and got pulled over by an oncoming (Chesapeake) cop while I was waiting to make a turn at an intersection :cry: needless to say, I paid my ticket and put my plate back on :( . I've installed a GMMG cat-back since :thumb: and would not dare make any more waves than I have to...

Looks awesome. Get yourself some dark tint and the SS spoiler you will be set. :thumb:

I'm considering the half mirror-half tint scheme, I think it would look awesome! :cool: As far as the spoiler is concerned, is already in place! :thumb:

Very nice!!!

I would put the Plate over the grill in the stock location, it would look better. And go ahead and put SS Badges on it, It doesn't look right with z-28 on. Then I would get a good quality black stripe kit. I would go with regular legal tint, nothing too flashy.

honestly a 4thgen is a 4thgen but the mods you did are subtle enough that it looks as if the car came that way which is good. looks nice!

I can't see covering up the chevy emblem or drilling holes on my new SLP $180.00 grill! :eek: As far as SS badges, well, no matter what I do to it, it will always be a Z28 to me! :D As far as stripes, I've been seriously considering a "Manta" style stripe that outlines the scoop, I like to keep it with its present clean lines as much as possible. Thanks for your suggestions though! :)

Awesome then. I couldn't really tell if you had one or not from those pics before. Sounds good on the half mirror-half tint scheme. I'm sure it will look great! :)

A GMMG exhaust, very nice! Not only is it an eye candy but it must sound sexy too!

definitely leave the Z28 badges....be proud of your non-SS!!!!

I like it!:thumb:

I've got a 98 Blazer with the same color - I wasn't thrilled about it at first, but Pewter has grown on me since.:)

Excellent job on your appearance mods. :thumb: I also give you a huge thumbs up for not taking Whobetter's advice to put SS emblems on your Z. :bow: Some of you read the comments from 5litreater and myself over this issue before he pulled the thread. :rolleyes: Why do guys with beautifully modded Z cars want to be a poser with SS emblems? :yuck: :barf: :shame:

nice car...looks like mine..lol. your pewter is dieing for a berger panel though (see sig link) ;)

I know the feeling, I thought pewter was the color to get until it was delivered :( ... then I wished like hell I ordered one in sunset orange metallic! :D Like you, it has grown on me and now I actually think is a killer color on a bright sunny day! :thumb:

Without getting into a political debate, I can FULLY appreciate both points of view on the badging issue and personally I think it should be left up to the individual to decide... :)

Dude, put Z06 badges!!!!

Clean. I would not mess it up and just keep it washed, waxed and accident free.

I like the changes!! Subtle, and very nice looking!
