Lowering springs? billet grille? clear corners? all? none? good? bad? ugly?
well the subject basically says it all...
Billete grille
clear corners
lowering springs
i know on a normal Z, #1 would be the lowering springs...
but mine looks more agressive and i think the lowered look might clash with it....

you can look around my photo album. since then i've aquired TA 5spoke rims with some 245/45/16 tires (low profile)
what do you guys think???
I can do both, but then I'd be more worried than ever about the clashin images... like slow and fast on a civic
but seriously...
Think they would clash?
do all?
do a combo?
thanks

Well...I have had all on my car and I loved the handling of my springs (infact I just bought a new z and this sat. 5 weeks after picking it up, more springs are going on.), I transfered my clear corners from my 94 to my new one. And the grille was great while I had it on. It was only on for about 3 Months before I decided to sale the car, but I loved the look of it. I still have my grille and I am trying to sell it, so if you are interested it's yours. They are $145 on RK Sport, I will sell mine for $90. But the springs are going to be the most noticable thing that you can do.

I had the grill on and clear corners on my white 95 and it looked sweet. grill is off at the moment since I had to put my plate on 
but I know those two look good together, and lowering the car will make the car look better too, imo!

I think all 3 would look great. I am in the process of making clear corners for my white Firebird (since no one makes them for Firebirds ). I think clear corners on a white car would smooth out the look, instead of having those big orange lights just blob there.
There's a 94 Z28 vert near my house lowered. It looks so evil!! I'd get them.
If you're really concered with how things look, ask someone to do a Photoshop job for you.
EDIT: I made these for my car, but I think they smooth out the lines on a white car as well.

did you do that body work yourself?
I could use a hand with it. I got a decent sized dent on the rear 1/4 pannel where some POS hit me in the parking lot and ran
All she needs is that to be fixed and a 2 new seats upfront (coming sooner than you can believe and its pretty much in show condition...
I just realized that a week ago
ok ok guys, i'll lower the car... you twisted my arm

No, I have a buddy who owns a bodyshop. I work in the bodyshop parts industry, so I got alot of connections. He does it for me for a great rate, and he knows I am picky. Dosent hurt he is a perfectionist either. Actually, the body work and paint are the ONLY things I didnt do myself

If you want to bring your car all the way to Grand Haven and leave it till it is done, I am sure he would take it and give you a good deal. The place is called City Auto Body, and his name is Brant. The number is 616-842-6560. Tell them Quentin sent you and what kind of car you got. He will figure it out. just be warned, he is a bit high strung....but it is good.

I have the corners and grill (mine was $60 off of ebay) on my car. I would lower it but it already scrapes w/ the g/fx. I think all 3 would look sweet.
