My progress so far 1996 Base to GTZ/Z26 *56k beware*
Well I cant believe I have made it this far with my car. Many numerous times I was planning on selling/trading this car and as far as I have gotten, I can say I am happy where I am with my car now. I can say I have spent well over $3000+ (including buying the car) and it runs great and looking pretty good too
..Now onto the pics
When I very first got it with 59k miles

Got bored and did little black outs.turn signals, tail lights, tinted windows, and hub caps lol

Did some interior work..dont have any before and after but im sure you know what smoker gray looks like





Random pics of the interior



Then i got these installed


I miss em

Sold the wheels, now GTZ/Z26 body kit with fresh factory paint/5k low beams,3k yellow high beams and yes i am missing some lights lol..thats why i have been posting like crazy..but yeah this how it sits now





Best pic?

Thank you for viewing

Cars lookin good dude! I have to say those wheels you had one before didnt really do much for the car. I like how the car looks with the Z04 stuff but no spoiler. Looks really sharp! Any plans to dye the dash too?
Keep up the good work!

looks good!
The only thing that bugs me is the paint on the front bumper. The inlay area where the fog lights and turn signals would sit is supposed to be a flat black. not body color.
Otherwise it's a nice looking ride.

Hey I know that look! I as rocking that back in 2005=).

I don't miss the spoiler-less look on my car though, I did that for a couple weeks but it just didn't look right on my car. Probably because I still had my pin striping on back then. Looks great on yours and Jon's though!
I don't really have an opinion on making the fog lamp portion black again. It looks good either way to me. It's your car so you should paint it how you like! My car was already black so I got the easy way out =).
I miss your wheels, you should get another set soon!
Any plans for a GTZ/Z26 interior? Or do you like the base seats like Jon?

Your best pic IMO. Hubcaps with Z04 doesnt work at all for me. X whatever to do the black inlays at the lights.96B-Mike wrote:![]()

Jon your black inlays are still a little smaller than my Z was.
And props to whoever can tell me who's garage this is at and the car next to my Z.

Boners garage with the pink Z? or Caysons garage but the I have no idea who's Z that is. I can't tell if it's Cayenne or Raspberry. I was thinking based on the wheels. This appears to be long after that though because they're already on your car. I think I'm completely wrong, haha.
As for the eggcrate grille, I kept mine to use from time to time lol.

I don't know who's garage, but your idea of "support" scares the hell out of me. I damn sure wouldn't be crawling underneath that car.
