As far as body kits, don't like them but it's your car, you should do what makes you happy. I like the lines as they are.
lol it was a rusty piece of **** handed down from my grandpa. i couldn't really afford anything else, so one summer i worked on it every day. sanding, bondo, primer, cutting, sheet metal, welding, and repeated it until something good came out of it. then i spent a lil bit of money on a paint-job and some 22 inch rims.

Hi Jagged

Just a comment on the toledopro hood. If you are looking into this type of thing. The hood is so nice, I would have used the 4 inch rise my self but the shipping cost and tax was the same as the cost for the hood. It might not matter to you, I am north of the border and parts are much more up in Canada.

I actually think the TP hood compliments any "kit". In my case, I chose sidepipes (since I have an affinity for C3s), then added a wing for balance. Consider it my shot at an L88 theme. Yeah, the wing ended up being overstated by it was my only option to cover a less-than-perfect antenna hole delete. I didn't want to reshoot the LR panel even though the whole car had been painted.)

I also have 11" ZR1 rears to better hook my 383. Here's what it looks like....


More pics in my garage.

Oh yeah...This is an 89 with upgraded bumpers. I used a 95 as a donor.

The Callaway is always a great addition but also the Morrison Snake Skinner bodies were great looking and functional. Good luck finding one of those...

Wow Greggpenn
Nice Car
I think the hood on your car is great I would do the same with mine in a second. As you can see my hood scoop there is no comparison.
I will just keep looking for now.
Take care
Brian

Nice job on the Caprice!
Here is a shot of an 88 I bought with the kit already installed.

The Shinoda-Mears aero kit is my favorite.

That is a beautiful vette Gregg. It looks really sharp with the mods you have did. His engine is a visual treat also.
