Not a fan of the front body kit. But thats just me.

Everything but the rims.. Sorry just not a fan of all that red
Front bumper, red wire engine loom, excessive red interior....that's about it. Spoiler looks okay. Rims are fine.
GMR has got nothing on this
yeah basically bought the car as is and looking to put my own personal touch on it, just not sure what yet. i kinda like the red and black, but i agree there is too much red on the interior anyway... thinking putting it to mostly black inside

Not too shabby. With a few changes you could improve the look for sure. I personaly dont mind the wheels, but you should remove the red wire loom in the engine bay, and go to the wrecker and get some stock door panels. Looks to be camaro seat swap? Not a big fan of the wing and front kit but with some matching sides and a rear it may look a whole lot better. Good to see another memeber from Western Canada.

Thanks, the seats are just APC buckets, and yeah i dont mind the wheels but I like the black body gold rim combo, may look at powder coating.

I personally don't like the red accents under hood or on the inside. I'd put that back to stock, maybe to the camaro seats or seats out of a Z24 or LSS. Otherwise, I'd drop it, shave the mouldings, emblems and get a stock Z24 body kit on it. Keep it clean
Looks like a solid start, wheels are pretty generic but thats ok, powdercoating them would make things much better, maybe put a small spacer on the rear wheels so it doesn't look sunken. I would give it a good bath first. and go from there.
Exterior- stock headlights/black wraparound projectors. debadge. 2000-2002 taillights, Import fighter front bumper, LS sport side skirts , 2003-2005 LS Sport rear bumper, sides and bumper aren't as big a necessity as the front bumper, pull off the side moldings (if you want to keep them, at least switch them out with the 2003-2005 coupe sides)...
Interior-get rid of anything painted red, sell the seats on craigslist and go back to stock, or something less bright.
Engine bay- say bye-bye to the loom.
id clean it really good for a start. engine bay and interior looks pretty dirty. other than that its up to you what you want to do with it
To each their own if thats what you like then so be it, I really wouldnt tell you to change anything except!!! The red loom in the engine bay...its tacky in general and makes the engine bay look like crap...loom serves a purpose, to organize, the way you are using it serves no purpose, I see coolant lines, a/c lines, etc with red loom.
So its tacky and its being overly used in your bay. I would also remove the pedal covers.

The rims are the part I dont like the most, everyone has them, they are pep boy rims, and I think they are poorly designed (the look of em)
I'd change the spoiler, front bumper and underglow. love the rims though

yea, i think i' have to say the same. lose the spoiler, fr bumper, underglow, maybe find some clean factory door panels or do something less red with those. and the red loom in the engine bay needs to go. its really not a bad place to start though, body looks to be in decent enough shape and the wheels are nice.
personally i'd either go wingless or 03+ spoiler, 95-99 Z fr bumper with the filler panel (if you can), and just clean it up. but thats me. you do whatever you like.
get some better pics too!
I have the Konig version of those wheels on my sedan and the same wing on my coupe lol...
- keep the wheels, but get spacers
- I agree with Airgazm about the headlights, tails, bumpers and skirts. but with more toned down body styling, the wing is gonna look out of place. catch 22
- coilovers
- tone down the red on the inside and toss the red wire loom. seems unanimous here lol

I would leave the wing, the body needs to be slightly aggressive to go with the CF hood I'm assuming is on the car due to his sig... otherwise the hood would look really out of place on a nearly stock car. I dunno, it would suck to all the way back to square one with the car...I was just making suggestions to make the best out of whats there.
TOO MUCH RED!! and I love Red. Its my favorite color and its my name. But dude, too much. It looks tacky and riced out. It is your car, and your creature, these are just my opinions
Against the grain here on the spoiler. I always kinda liked that one. I would find a stock bumper for the front, though. That red wire cover crap needs to go, too. I could take or leave the wheels. I'm a big fan of shaved side mouldings. I don't mind pedal covers as long as 1) all of them are present and ii) they're nice ones.
Other than that, just clean it up a bit.

A good all out wash would be the first thing.
Ditch all that red on the inside, get stock door panels, seats, ditch that one red pedal, etc.
Im not feeling the front either, but you def have a good slate to start with, just some time and work and your golden.

Thanks for the feedback guys, i think im going to leave the rims on there, but re do the interior with alot less read haha, thinking of taking most of it to black and installing a black leather wrapped wheel, and hopefully some new seats in the near future too. I appreciate all the help!
