OK!! Im giving you all fair warning!!!!

Ahem.....**tap tap...is this thing on**

ok thank you all for comming ...Announcing the impending purchase of a Black Z28 ( probably on tuesday) so it seems only fair that you are all warned well in advance that you lot better tweak those injectors, clean out the air filter, test the tranny cuz when im done ( and probably broke / deeply in debt) they'll be a new Z28 for you to contend with.

ok, so now that ive done the necessary posturing....



HELP!!!!!!!!

Ive done some research and here is my intended line up ( please answer questions if you can and comments / opinions welcome):

1 black z28 ( iky stock ....must change) thus:

Ram air II hood:
Q- so....is this thing good quality?

West wings GFX:
Q- ok I hate the rear skirt on the WW GFX, actualy I want the SLP quad tips + skirt..so will these two kits match up nice?

Q2- Painting the GFX, on or off the car? Im thinking on but what say you?

Q3- How bad does the WW front piece scrape / hit off of speed bumps, curbs....small mammals?

The WW spoiler:

Q- Im not sure if its too rice-ish or if im just too stuck in the classic image of a Hot rod. Ive seen a few Camaros that look good with it on but still cant shake that " kinda ricy" feeling. do I need to step into the modern age and get with the programe or is that wing just a little too much?

Re-badge:

Q -ok so when Im done the car will be more than a Z28, but I dont want to badge it an SS ( hell seems like every one I see is an SS and there are seemingly WAY more on the road than Chevy built) But I would like to rebadge it ....like "ZO6" only invent something not currently in use....what say you?

Interior brushed aluminium / steel:

Q-I found a few sites that have brushed aluminium / steel dash / console kits for the 98-02 Camaro. I though about throwing one on....opinions?

Leather interior:

It dosnt have it, classic soft trim can install it...how much $$$?


Exhaust:

ok the GMMC $700.00 is just a little too much for a sound. I figure i can go with a flowmaster 40 series ( I found out they make a 40 series with two exits ...no not an 80 series, this a 40 series muffler that has one inlet and two outlets)..problem is that I cant find this design in the stores, only on the flowmaster website...so I'll have to do some hunting.

It has gotten numerous negative reviews in the quality/fit/finish dept.

West wings GFX:

There will be a noticable difference, but it will look ok

Q2- Painting the GFX, on or off the car? Im thinking on but what say you?

Depends on who is installing the GFX

Q3- How bad does the WW front piece scrape / hit off of speed bumps, curbs....small mammals?

Not bad at all unless you are lowered..usually it is the front replacement airdam that scrapes...

The WW spoiler:

Any spoiler you get is going to be for show, unless you regularly drive at 150 mph. Just get whatever you think looks good. Make sure to get pictures of that spoiler from a rear view.... (It doesn't line up with the rear body lines)

Check out this thread

It will look outstanding in a black car.

Leather interior:

Just get OEM Black Leather... around $500 on ebay

Exhaust:

If you want the GMMG sound, just get a chambered muffler
