Well I rarely post pictures on here and since I gave the car a little bit of a waxing a friend and I went and took some night shots... The exterior is now done and will not be changing much at all, too stock looking or not, I love it.

And yes those are hoodpins on a stock hood, a couple years ago after a group of teens tried breaking into it, I locked everything down. They are functioning locks.

Any comments, good or bad, are welcome.



























And last but not least, my salute to gas prices:



If my math is right... $1.231/litre works out to $4.659/gallon

Why on earth would you put those hood-pins on your car? Totally ruins the flow of the front end =/

Aside from that it looks pretty sweet, drop seems to be just right.

i was going to say 1.23 but then you say liters

looks very nice by the way

Sometimes purpose is more important than looks.

Very nice clean ride. I was going to say the same thing about the hood pins, but it is totally understandable why you have them. I love the red, with tint. Your mirrors and handles look nice, along with the drop. All you need is rims.........very nice!

very nice. in the 4th pic down the 16's look huge! The drop really changes a lot.

Very nice man. My Z was about the same height and I loved it. And I too seeen you flipping the 123 off and was like Dayyuummmm im moving there, till you said per litre




Yes it is a cavalier deal with it

What kind of hood pins are those? They dont seem to protrude above the surface of the hood and I havent seen anything like that before. I want to get a new hood and that seems like the perfect compromise between appearance and functionality. The pics kick ass by the way, I really love the garage pics.

Thanks for all the comments, no matter if I type an explanation with the hood pins or not.. some people just look at the pics without reading.

Thanks, was nice seein you too, shoulda had a one night stand or something I actually saw you a couple nights later at timmies, but a friend in my car wasn't too fond of one of the guys you were with so we left, it didn't click to me that it was your car there until I saw you on lasalle later that night and for some reason it clicked then, I forgot you had the new sunfire.

They're locking hood pins by mr. gasket.. you can probably find them at any auto store.
Here's a link but not where I got them from, I just picked them up from a Canadian Tire up here in Canader.

Thanks again.

i bought almost those same hood pins but in CF...snapped while putting them on...so i got diff ones haha....by the way...looks good

I have always like the stock Z24 95-99 kit and rims.

Way back when, there was a local girl who had a '95 Z24 when they first came out. I remember at the time being very impressed with the styling, but even back then the price tag was over $20,000 CDN which was alot of money.

If it were mine I would take away the Z24 highlite on the moulding and add Z24 emblems to the front fenders. The fender seems bare compared to the rest of the side because it has not moulding or emblem.

I would keep the rims. 16" is plenty big enough for a street driven car that only weights 2700lbs.

I don't like the mesh in the stock front end. I like the painted mirrors and handles, but the part that the mirror attaches to would look better black imho.
