I just picked up some VHT nightshade from a local Car Boutique..
Plans for this weekend
1. Remove the Side Molding
2. Blackout the Side and Front markers
3. Do the Whistler mod on my old headlights and take out my current Halos.
4. Remove the LS1 sticker from the front..
Busy weekend, maybe i'll be productive instead of going out every weekend and getting drunk.. lol

01SOMSS - looks real good bro.. Those pictures are from only one coat of Z5. I haven't updated it yet after putting on the Z2 but it looks incredible.
Bobs - http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/ he is a sponsor here.. That cam is a 231/237 112 LSA Custom Grind Comp Cam from Speed Inc, it's their S5 cam I think? Don't quote me on that but you can plug in the specs of mine and you will see it... I love the setup, have not had one issue, runs great, sounds great, making great power and is terrific on the Road Course..
Also, a little update..
Removed all the side molding, and wow what a diffrence.. I should have done this on day one.. I've also removed the front sticker, looks so much better without it.
I'm on my 2nd coat of clear on my rear markers, looking great so far..
I haven't had a chance to get to the headlights or front markers so maybe I can get some pics up by Monday.

Cool, thanks a lot. I already have a like new set of MTI stage 2e cylinder heads, SLP Equal length headers, and 3in catless y pipe. Im saving up money to get my cam and to take my car to speed inc. to get it tuned. I was going to get the MTI G1 cam, but they are out of business now. Your cam seems pretty close and sounds great! As far as the cat back goes, i was thinking about getting a 4in spintech kit thrue Mufflex. How do you like your Borla system? It sounds awesome! That kit is 3in over the axle right? Thanks a lot.

Lookin good man, real high level of reflection! Any before pics?
I've been using Meguiar's Yellow tech-wax, but everyone on LS1tech and Camaro5 swears by Zaino, so will probably give it a try sometime soon... Either way, car looks gorgeous!

The car only has 12k miles so even without wax it's usually pretty shinny so it may be hard to tell..
Here it is with NXT 2.0
Here it is with one coat of Z5
Diffrent lighting but close in angle..
Not much of a diffrence but the feel and durability factor is noticable big time when you actually look at it up close and feel it.
