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?

Nice, but he really needs to replace that RS spoiler. It looks like dookie!

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.

Did you get those nasty holes around the bottom filled in? I hate those.

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.
Craig, what's up playa! Thanks for the Props.

Leo, What up? How's Chi-Town?

Thanks again fella's. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
