Default Yet another new guy

I'm new to the scene, I got a 2000 SS M6 about three months ago, I used to have a 93 Z28. When I got the 2000, I wasnt really out shopping for a new ride, it sort of came to me. My trashman came to me one day and he told me about someone hitting him in his SS with a truck in the passenger side fender, the bodyshop wanted $14,000 to fix the repairs! So instead his insurance got him a new one and sold the wrecked one to me for $4600. Well $2000 dollars later I got me a new car! Its almost impossible to tell it had been wrecked.

Its fully loaded and so far i have added a SLP lid, clear turn signals, silver badges, power antenna, custom dash plaque and the wheels from my old Camaro: 17x9.5 chrome boyd coddington stingrays.

Thanks, BLACKTA the body shop was me, my father and my brother!

it took us about a month and a half. We put in a new front window,front bumper, right front fender, airbag, my dad is like a fiberglass wizard so he refabbed the hood. (the shop wanted $2000 just for that!) Also a new fog and head light, new impact bumper, a little frame adjusting had to be done, and of course the paint.

It drives like a new one!
