So far no leaks and I did not see any staining. Funny the lady said she never drove it in the rain. I believe her. I turned on the wipers and the blade feel apart.

Rims and rear spoiler installed. Hood and seats are next. I will wait for my son-in-law for the hood swap. It just too bulky and I have no faith in local help .
So here is the next decision. Suspension, the 2000 Z still has the stock Decarbon shocks and struts. With 45,000 miles on it still feels tight. I have a set of Bilstein shocks on my 93 with 1.5" drop springs. I have no idea how many miles are on them or how good they are. I want to get the swapping of parts done so I can clear everything out of the garage. Opinion? I thought I read you could sent the Blistein shocks in for rebuild, anyone heard of that?

All 4th SS models where modified by SLP and the rear spoiler and hood are fiberglass. I have never heard of a steel SS hood although it could be custom made. My SS clone was not the V6. It was a Lt1/ 6 speed (AKA Project 93 in my sig) My green v6 is Project 96 in my sig.
This is what the 93 looks like with the lowered springs

aahh I see that an checked again ,they did not make a look .alike ss in the 93.02 onl.y with 5 gens ,yes it looks just like your new one ,you like black yes ..I could only imagine what I would cost custom made ,I guess it was easyer to make that look of the hood scoop .from .fiberglass then metal ,I just like the look of hood scoops ,working or not ,I was thinking about less .cost ,the mustang hoodscoop on my 95 ,with the front end from a 98 to 02 ground effects like on my 99,that is not to low for new ..england roads down the road now though ,I . had seen a set of zr1 wheels like you had on yours ,an I have on the 95 for $500.00 with the tires 17inch,then again I kind like the ones on that 99 stock.they probley make a chrome set of the ones I got on the 99,then again 18in wheels are getting popular ..bigger 20in is in to ,I think it makes cars look to tall,i like 17in wheel
