Pretty self explanatory, post a picture of your car way back in the day when you bought it, and another in its current state ... here's my two

My Black Camaro, in the Dealer lot, circa '05:







How she sits now:







And my SS (not many changes yet since it's only a few months old, nor will there be any, since it's a 35th LE )

In the dealers lot:







And just a few days ago:

 

i already like this thread.

My first car!!! bought it back in ’06. this is the original craigslist add I printed the morning I went to pick it up, 3/11/06 at 10:27am


This was how it looked around a year ago.


AND NOW!!! 4 long years, and 46,000 miles later….


Cleaned out/ detailed/ painted the engine bay this weekend.



And then I acquired the LS1 Power back in august ’09, and made some huge differences pretty quick…

 

 

Then 5/04 it was bone stock right down to the paper air filter and stock radio. the radio was replaced when i got home with an mp3 player out of the red tbird in the background. come to think of it the first and 3rd pic wer taken on 4/28 when i test drove/put an offer in on the car. I had to wait till that weekend to actually pick it up because it took me a few days to get the cash. pic #2 was taken the day after i bought the car at an fbody meet.







now (well the last time i took decent pics which was last fall, nothing's changed since then)

 

Dang this thread is going to be awesome. I'll have to see if I can dig up some old pics of my car.

 

I like that alot lot lot lot

 

... this is the only one I have right now..both not very flattering photos and since then I had replaced the red w/ matte black, blacked out the tails..and tomorrow I'm putting on the stripes.

 

^finally, damn!

 

heres mine when i got it.

heres what it looks like now

alot of work but i like it

 

haha quit busting my ***** CRIMSON!!! but yeah I have some time this week, since it's spring break to do some stuff. So I'm gonna be retinting my side markers, third brake light, and driver side tail (sanding off the lettering this time and painting the torx screws that are brown for some reason), washing the whip and putting on my matte black stripes, installing my matte black corsa clones, getting new exhaust hangers since I broke all of mine in a freak incident, doing some custom suede interior parts (shifter/ebrake boots, console lid, instrument cluster, and maybe the glove box and underneath the steering column depending on how much 3 yards of microsuede will cover), cleaning the underbody w/ a brush and some degreaser, possibly repainting the ttop bar black, dying my floor mats black or ordering lloyds, etc. ..... one word.....fuckuhmylife


EDIT:: btw 95formulalt1 SWEET JOB!!!!! YOU WIN!!!

 

great job retardedpenguin. that TA looks amazing. i love these kind of threads.

here is how my car looked when i bought it (pretty shitty):





so then i sold the ugly *** rims and put the decals and put TA seats in it:





In the middle of all that, i installed an STS turbo, but sold it later:

 

A couple months after I had the car. It was 100 percent stock on the outside.




And now!!





Gotta support tech with the license plate frame!

When I got it:





Now, Still a ways to go though...

 

I bought the car in 7/2005.. These pics were taken shortly after





And as of today, the car is in storage sitting on the stock wheels and tires. But here are some pics from over the summer time when I was on my TTMs. I have since sold the TTMs, bought brand new C6 wheels with new tires that I am waiting to put on once I take the car out of storage

 

Boy, this brings back memories.

Here's my SS.

Before shots - brand new from the factory 1999.





... and how the SS looks today.

 

In 2003 stock WS-6
