Thanks! I'd kill to have it in CF, but it would be so expensive. Especially when you take shipping into account...since I'm in Canada (no, I'm not on a boat).

This is close to original. I bought the car 1yr old all original down to paper filter and tires. I think in this pic it just had some wheels, exhaust, airlid and a pro 5.0 shifter:


And now:

No, it doesn't.

I bought it from NY and it had the US one. Then I got a 6LE one which got rid of km/h completely.

TODAY:
You tint the windshield? I did this on my DD hardtop Z and love it. I have 5% on sides and back, and then 40% on the front.

For my street cars, the darker the better. My Wife's CTS-v is 5% sides and back.

A couple weeks after I bought the CETA in Jan 2007. I just bought the 94 Z28 a couple days before the picture was taken




One of the more current pics of the CETA



Here is one of the 94 Z28 before I sold it in late 2008

before - guy hit a deer and had a shitty $50 paintjob put on it, the paint was peeling off in the headlight area and in the middle of the fender. put 310hp/325tq to the wheels 100% stock besides a knock off flowmaster muffler through a 4l60



now, not much is done except i painted the screwed up front, put stock headlights in it, red calipers, berger panel and gs stripes. mods are ftp lid, magnaflow cats, granatelli maf ends, !EGR, !AIR and a 80mm tb
