These are the most current pics of Blue Thunder (my '98 Z28) since getting my Suncoast Creations Z-Style hood and putting the Sunoco Stripes on the sides. She is an automatic (A4) and puts down 330.8 horses and 356.9 torque @ the wheels. Her color is Navy Blue Metallic and she has over 155K miles on her. She is my Daily Driver.
Thanks to Carri (Z28CamaroCarri - Z28.com) – It was her idea to put HO vinyl letters on top of the stainless inserts for the rear. AWESOME IDEA!!! And thanks to Brent Franker. He custom made the letters (they had to be smaller than normal) and the Z06 style emblems. FANTASTIC WORK!!!
Here's some pics before getting the Z-Style hood.
I lowered the front 2" with Eibach Sportline springs and the rear 1/2" using the "Heater Hose" mod. I have KMC "240 Unit" chrome wheels @ all 4 corners. They are 16s, and with the rake of the Z, they give her exactly the look I wanted. I love the "Old School" Muscle Car look!
All the pics with the white Z28 emblems and the white Camaro rear inserts are a little older. You can see the progression my car is going through. :)
