you don't need a body kit to stand out, just have a clean ride and it will turn heads, here my old IROC-Z

it's an original.

The Evo kit rocks, I would so put it on my ride but $$$ and they don't even make it anymore. they still have some in the warehouse lying around so if ya want one then ya better order now, probably going w/ a clearance price as well.

ugh.

thankfully the ugly tacked on afterthought parts made for these cars is mostly limited to the hood.


btw, im going to have to smack you for suggesting getting a body kit..

besides? why do you care about 3rdgen looks all of a sudden? you always said you didnt want one because your brother has one... (or 2)

ok.

so what you're telling me is........


my own brother is looking at buying a 3rdgen, yet he still hasnt just emailed me and said, "hey, oh wise older brother who knows more about these cars then im ever going to learn, would you come out here and check out this car before i buy it?"


as far as making it look good, clean it up so it has nice paint, clean interior, ect.. then throw some rims on and lower it.

not to mention your handsome looking older brother has about 8 billion 3rdgen parts that are just sitting around.... :lala:



edit: and i can say god if i want to... but its banned from common use because people use it offencively and enough people were offended... you also cant say ******* and some racial slurs.... along with the usual swear words.

like i said when i emailed you.. this is the tech site.. its the one spelled 3rdgen that you can BS around on.

i would've emailed, just once i make the final decision to buy it i wanted to see how much i screw with it before i decided to buy it. it looks good though, imagine james's without the many bad paint schemes. 91 or 92 z28 auto $1000, runs smooth. interior shows serious age and cracks, but its clean and not ripped or torn or dingy or anything.

cracks are more expensive then torn.. lol..

i can get ya new seats cheap.. but the dash pad is a b!tch to find. they crack easily.... best tip, DONT ARMORALL IT.

remember my 82? thats why the dash cracked.. i didnt know taht armorall sucked donkey *****.

now i do



whats the exterior paint look like? rust? TPI i assume...

i have some parts you could use... lol.. just let me know when its cool, and i'll ride the motorcycle up there and look at it... (unless its too damn cold...)
