Prices for everything will vary depending on who you get the stuff from. Same with the size tires in the package, different sellers have different packages. It may be cheaper, it may not be. Personally, I painted the drum on the back gloss black, so it looked good, but wasn't flashy, and only painted the calipers a bright color. You can get the paint at most auto part stores, and even walmart. The style of wheels all depends on your choice, I'm not big on either ZO6 or ZR1s, myself. But whatever your choice, I'd go with 17's, cause like Arch said, you will lose some performance, but I also think the 17's look better. The 17x11's won't fit without some work for sure. A little unnecessary for a regular old V6 . I don't know if the gunmetal would look better on your car or not, but I am a big fan of gunmetal wheels. If you think you'd prefer black over gunmetal, though, get black. Because its your car and you are the one that drives it and needs to like it.

Thanks a bunch guys! I'm just trying to make my car look as good as it can. I've been looking at these rims and they look so good! I'm not sure what kind of wheels they are though. I'm sure you guys could let me know!!



they kinda look like ZR1's? I dunno, what are they?

Oh, and some random questions. How much does would it cost to get my windows tinted?

Headers on a 3.8L really don't do anything but make it sound better maybe an unnoticable performace difference?

Would this 40 dollar shift kit be worth it? What excatly does it do? http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/inc/...l?v=1&pid=1306

Anyone have any preferences on alarm systems? Viper, Clifford?

Any other semi-cheap semi-easy performance/visual mods I can do to my car on a low budget and goin off to college?...

never use a b&m shift kit, tehy burn up the trans, use transgo. headers will help performance. Alarm code alarm, crime stopper or excalibur (see sponsors section for a store that sells them)

OKay... On ftpp.net Would that Jet shift kit work? It's $70 bucks and it says it extends transmition life. Or that 4 stage Jet shift kit is purdy cool 2. Or should I just go for that $120 buck transgo Shift kit? ... What would you guys say for a low budget guy who wants his 3.8L to be kinda cool. What is necessary and worth the money? Hehe...

Im so good at asking questions ...

*random* .. So if i went to a shop with headers, a cat back, (maybe a cut out), a high flow cat, and tips (if i want em) they will put it all together right? For about how much? ... And If I don't wanna put headers on at first, is that okay? Can I add them later? ... Or can I go to a shop with just headers, a <insert ur favorite muffler here>, (cut out), high flow cat, and tips, can they make the rest of the pipes themselves? Whats cheaper?

Where is the sponsors section for the alarms?

I still wanna know what those wheels are!! ^^^^

(another aside the fact question, what muffler REALLY has the best deep rumble tone... least raspy, just deep and throaty... I've heard the Rumbler is good for that...)

archemedes

use transgo, it's the only one the trans techs I know will install and warranty.Click the link in my sig for the alarms

IM STILL WONDERING WHAT THESE RIMS ARE...


Okay, you know how I wanted Black z06 wheels? ... Well ... I saw this photoshop picture of my car with the rims and it looks ... not so amazing. I'm not sure if its the photoshop job, or the actual look.


Anyway, if I was to buy the chrome z06 wheels, would I be able to change them to black later on? I guess there is a way to powder coat them or something? How much would that be? ...

HERE IS A PICTURE OF GUNMETAL Z06 RIMS. ... What do you guys think? I'm so torn


And here is a sweet TA that looks dang good with black z06's


PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE ... CHROME, BLACK, or GUNMETAL

(and let me know about turning chrome's into blacks)

SOMBirdV6

gunmetal.

camaro94

on your car, chrome or black. And yes, the chrome could be painted or powdercoated to black later on.

black

Amurican_Muscle

zr1 or z06? ...



(totally off topic noob question ... The "turbonator" doesn't really work does it?)

Mike Jones

I personally like the ZR1's better.

The "turbonator" is a complete rip off.

camaro94

either ones, I personally don't really like either style.

Amurican_Muscle

OKay ... How bout this ... I know its kinda ricey but it looks alright on this picture .... WHITE wheels...... Whattaya guys think? ....



I still can't decide. I've heard so much stuff about black rims looking like wheels without hubcaps... or snow tires ... and it scares me :P

camaro94

those wheels don't look to bad. The whole thing with white, black, and gunmetal/graphite wheels is preference. Some people hate the look, some people like it. It's all up to what matters to you. I love gunmetal/graphite/charcoal wheels, and that's why I bought them.
