Bought the car I've been looking for *pics* *detailing pics added (black car)* If you don't want to read anything just scroll down to the pictures 
I have more pictures on page 4. Detailing pictures added to page 4.
It was a 12 hour drive just to get there but was well worth it
black camaro ss convertible 6 speed, true ss, 83k miles, fully loaded except CD player (WTF why order the car with a tape player lol). Virtually no problems with it. It was in a small accident but was fixed very well, completely unnoticeable there was even an accident. All it needs is a new ebony console lid (pm me if you have one), needs new floor mats, and a good buff and wax (though he said it was professionally done recently, still has spider web swirls). I will get some before/afters of the detailing process and add them to this thread. The family was super nice and kept it looking great, I got it for a steal. It was my second time ever to drive a manual and I had to drive it through New York (if you've been there you know what I mean..). Nonetheless I didn't get into any accidents, though there was a couple close calls. I'm very happy with the purchase and hope to keep it a while (mods to come 
).

Yeah I actually eat quite a bit, super fast metabolism + slim family. I grow skyward rather than across 
(6'6" and still fit in the car just fine) I feel I'm fortunate for not being huge.Well for mods I have quite a bit planned but will tackle them slowly over time. For right now, I've got a set of vert 3 pt subframe connectors, an hid kit for the fogs, some custom headlights I've been working on (I think you've seen the thread), and I'm going to darken all of the marker lights and tail lights just a bit.
Saving for kooks headers and LPP true duals (not many people have these, from videos I've seen, they all sound AMAZING). Then I'm going to save up until I can do heads, cam, intake, and the supporting mods that go with those all at the same time while the engine is pulled(springs, pushrods, injectors, etc).

but I'm definitely looking forward to meets, woodward, and the local track (in Waterford).

Car looks exactly like mine minus the 10 spokes. Surprisingly, I found mine on Craigslist and it was a couple grand cheaper then all the other t-top, teen abused F-Bodies on there. You'll love the subframe connectors, put mine on last week and I think I'm going to have to buy a pair of seats to hold me better when going into the turns!
they go for $300-400 all day on ebay.

Good eye 
It has the loudmouth system on it except the muffler. The guy put the system on but put the stock muffler back on cause he said it was too loud. He offered the muffler to me for $200 but I want to replace the whole exhaust anyway.

Man, this brings me back to April of this year when I got off the school bus (was a senior at the time) and saw mines parked in my driveway. It was a very, very surreal experience the first time I took it out for a spin. Congratulations and take good care of it dude, keep it clean.
