Default pics of DRKSYD (black vert)

Here are some pics I took of Marc Johnson's car at MTI on Saturday. 98 Z28 with an SS hood, 17x9s and 17x11s, slammed.

Don't worry, it runs as good as it looks (430+ rwhp heads/cam and nitrous too!)

Hey, those 17x11 wheels look different than mine. They look as if the rim has a deeper dish and the area around the lugs is the same as the front. Mine are like the GS Vette wheels with a deeper lug area. Would you happen to have a closer shot of the rear wheels?

Don't worry Chris you'll have your chance real soon! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> I appreciate the kind words and Tony thanks for posting the pics..I had forgot that you had taken them. The car makes 550/599 on the dope! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> It's a 125 dry shot/single nozzle MTI fabrication.

So what's the story on the hood? I know you said that it's an SS hood. It looks like a cowl hood from the pics. I agree that the RS spoiler nees to go. It detracts from the overall appearance.

Overall...damned stealthy, awesome numbers, and GREAT looking ride!

It's a ss hood from fiberglass frabricators, it has a 2" cowl built into it...kind of like the 97 model year. I know the duck tail in the back needs to go but I just started working on appearance mods. I added the wheels and tires removed the ground effects and had it repainted with Porsche black. She's a 98' and I still have a few things that I want to have done. Thanks again for the comments. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

WayneSS01, I have the Eibach prokit and yes it sits level. It's been on the car for about 2years, just added the Hal 12 way adjustables in the rear.
