Default In need of a wash & wax...
I took the Z out yesterday to train some clients of mine & I snapped a few pics.

(sorry...phone pics)

I rarely ***** out the Z, so its my turn...I'll post real pics when I get around to detailing it.












...I should have at least put on some tire shire...lol

I do personal training on the side.
I had them meet me at the city park (lake) to do our cardio session.




Thanks for the compliments guys!

I went with the SLP LT1 SS spoiler to be a little different.

Dude, the wheels are painted the same color...

Look a little closer at the 3rd pic.

The color "changes" a lot so it depends which angle you're looking at it.


Thanks for the positive comments everyone!
