Default Want everyones opinions pics.

I have the website to the riced out :D vette I traded my 94 z28 for. I will be dericing the vette so you can be harsh it won't hurt my feelings. I am changing it. Go to the second page. The pics on the first page is the 94 z28 that I traded for the vette. Sometimes I wonder if it was a good trade. Let me know what ya'll think. http://members.cardomain.com/redvette8012

I dont think the vette is that bad, if your going to paint it with a nice flashy colour then it might look alright without the that wing. just my .02 o ya and few forum members have similar front ends to that one and they look pretty sharp.

I just love the classic body on the 80-82. The original spoilers front and rear already work wonders for the look. The aftermarket stuff works for some people, but not me. If you had an 11 second camaro, you should have plenty of fun with your vette. You aren't the only one with doubts about selling your baby. I sold mine too, but the vette will find its way into your heart. Once you get it where you want it, you'll love it.

Okay, people will probably hate me for this but..... I like the wing. With that super-long front end it doesn't look so bad. At least it's a rear-wheel drive car.

Not too crazy about the color or the stripe but the sidepipes are nice.

Don't know the details of the trade Kara, but I see lots of potential in the 80. Just have fun with it and make it what you want. :cheers:

Oh yeah, and LOSE THE WING! :lol:

The wing is bad news for the street. I guess I will just never understand the mentality of people doing that as they're not fooling anyone. Could be a source for an obstructed vision ticket too. See recent thread on that one.

Ive got to say though, I found the paint scheme not so bad. I probably wouldn't do it to my car though. The 96 GS's have a similar scheme that grows on you.

Brent...

I hate to admit it, but it doesnt look too bad. (We've all seen worse) I'd still fling the wing though.

Ditch the wing, stripe, white on the headlights, and large emblems :U

Make it all red and it's awesome looking with the front end mods and sidepipes! :thumbs:
