Default New ls-1 owner pics!!

Just bought this 1999 Z, own two other camaros and have always wanted a ls-1 and since the market is so bad I got a great deal on this one. Just recently lowered it, got the halo's and cut-buffed it. wanting to get a set of rims in the near future when i have some cash. Heres a few pics of all my f-bodys.
