“Cold air intake” more harm than good?

Just bought this thing. 2000 Z28. Everything is near mint on it, but this cold air intake has me confused. When stock, air is scooped up from under the bumper, right? But this has a huge metal plate seemingly blocking that airflow off. I can’t see how this thing is getting any actual airflow besides stagnant air from the upper engine bay or air slipping through the cracks around the hood. There is no hood scoop either. What the heck?

Questions about caliper clearance

I just got these riddlers 661s for my 82 z28. 18x.95 all 4 and they have 0 offset. I’m wanting to work on the brakes and suspension next. Can c7 calipers fit ? Or any other big brake caliper ?

Help with front brakes

Hi all

Doing my first front brake job on my 93 Camaro Z28. Question about these 2 pins or whatever they are called... Are they supposed to be that far out?

They are like this on both sides .

(Guide pins where the bolts go through)

New whip!!

This thing is MINT! 😍 (‘00 Z28, 100k miles with a ton of preventative maintenance just done, amazing condition inside and out, plus an intake and exhaust). Say hello to my wife’s new daily! I end up driving her around most of the time anyway so I talked her out of settling for a V6 🤣

New Wheel Setup 1998 Z/28 Camaro

I've been looking for new rims for my Camaro because my tires are shot. The old owner fit 275/40/17s in the rear and front. For the front, I want to go down to 255s. In the rear, I want to go up to 285s or 295s.

The problem is, I don't know if I'll rub. I have stock suspension, and I want to run a staggered setup. The rims I'm looking at are the Laguna Street Weld S107s.

I can't fit bigger tires in the rear with 17s without getting drag radials, which I don't want. So, I would have to go up to an 18x9.5 rim in the back with a backspacing of 6.4" and an offset of +29.

I also don't want rubber-band tires. I want a meaty-looking tire for the rear, but I don't want to have to cut or hammer anything.

For the front, I'm looking at 18x8s. One option has a 5.6" backspacing with a +29 offset, and another has a 4.5" backspacing with a 0 offset.

All I would like to know is what would fit and what people think would look nice. I don't mind changing the suspension if I need to, but I don't want to make any modifications to the fenders. Bolt pattern is 5x120.65 obv
