Nice car, nice color. You will appreciate the hardtop, wish I had one myself. Enjoy!

About the mudflaps though...

That's a beauty! Congrats.

BTW, you hit on a pet peeve of mine. I am so sick of seeing ads where owners look for obscure things and call them "Rare". You know the kind:

"One of only 57 produced in 1991 with bose delete, green exterior, tan interior, performance axle and standard seats. RARE."

First off, who bites on that stuff?
Second off, someone should be smacked!

They do look odd in Yellow don't they? Maybe Black?

I think it looks killer!
Throw some chromies on her and a Corsa system and she'll be even sweeter.

Need to see more pics before I give my true impression on the "flaps". They don't look like some 1/2 *** cheap job...which is a plus. IMO, I'd either get rid of them or keep them yellow....since they blend well w/ the yellow hardtop.

Nice ride!
I agree though, mud flaps don't work for me either.

Agree completely with JEFNLSA...chrome ZR-1 (A-mold) wheels would make the car an absolute standout. Can't beat a yellow C4 Vert for "curb appeal". Go with black flaps...

Enjoy...!!

Looks great! Still debating on flaps, might be a tad to much yellow, but if you like it that's all that matters.

On second-thought...I think a set of Black Grand Sport wheels would look awesome against all that Yellow...

Yup, just put a set (9's & 11's) on my LT4....love 'em. They'll look awesome on your car too!

Don't have any pics yet (other than sh!tty chop pic I did to get an idea of the look - see my sig below) but will post some soon. They look killer...esp. w/ the GS calipers I bought and the new black zinc plated drilled slotted rotors I also bought.

Sorry for the hijack.

Hey, JEFNLSA...have I seen your car (and postings) on the Grand Sport Registry (GSR) Forum...?? Looks familiar. It's a sinister-looking beast. Gott love those LT4s.

Double-sorry for the hi-jack.
