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.

car looks awesome but with that paint the wheels either need to be painted to match or ditch them for polished...they conflict the paint too much

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!
