IMO only, i would do the following...
-lose the rear lovers
-paint the front lip silver like the rest
-lose the hood scoops
-put a nice set of wheels and tires on there
-also clean up the rubber on the side with the rubber.lol
nice pics tho.

Lose the Louvers? Ive got black interior, and they Keep it very cool,
How about painting the others red?
Lose the scoops? A regular hood looks kinda boring, however, those break up the space for only 70 bucks.
wheels and tires.. yea i know, for an 18 yr old i think ive done pretty good..
Rubber is from what i did 5 minutes before the pictures..
Thanks, I like when people tell me what they really think! it helps me think of where to start during the winter..

What Up Dude!! Not a bad looking car you got there,...... but, I'm afraid I have to agree about the rear louvers. Just not a real big fan of them even though I had 'em in the past. I think your ride would look a whole better with the back and side windows blacked out. (Tinted) That will keep it just as cool inside!! 
Not really into the hood scoops either, but if you like 'em.....Roll with it! (I like Cowl Hoods on the 3rd Gens the best, but that's just me) I also think it would look better if the side skirts and rear piece were painted "RED"......but only cause I don't care for the two tone.
These are just suggestions Bro.......except for this one: "THE MUD FLAPS HAVE TO GO"!!!!
(That's why we have Wax-n-Grease Remover, or Bug and Tar Remover) 
On a serious note though, you do have a nice car there..:thumbsup:.....it just needs a few tweaks here and there and then it'll be "Bad 2 the Bone"!!

Thanks for the suggestions, I do have a spare rear hatch glass, i pulled out and will try to tint it, and get one of those Huge bowtie stickers with a Chevy thunder sticker inside.. i might have a pic of the one i have now, but the tint and stickers are from the 80's... let me try to find a pic..

haha pimpin. yea im not doing too bad for being 17. i have to keep up with Chad and these big guns over here making the big time, but i also dont need to pay for all the stupid crap that adds up that they do.
but yea, lose louvers and tint all around for sure. would look sexy like that.
i also agree stock hood is boring. go pick up a cowl for like 400 bucks or so from JEGS tho, they look hot on 3rd gens
and red GFX would like nice, just make them all one color tho.
wheels and tires...look around online. you can prolly get a nice set with tires for around 500 bucks or so depending where you look.
keep it up tho im liking it

car looks good i personally dont mind the louvers but i would go for a cown hood if i were u i think they look pretty good on 3rd gens and do a good job of breaking up the straight hood but either way if u like the scoops and louvers keep them its ur car lol and it looks good
