The springs are Eibach Sportlines. I've had them on for 6 years or so, the ride is definitely a bit harsh especially after I welded in the SFC's. I do really like the stance, but ground clearance is virtually non-existent with my cut-out. I'm probably going to swap them out for a set of pro-kit/stranos and some QA1's because the Sportlines have zero weight transfer at the track.

I'm planning to remove the front strip. It's nice for driving but I'm not to fond of the look anymore and I think it would look cleaner without it.

Front plate is really no big deal, but tinted windows are a major safety concern for cops, seeing as traffic stops are one of the most dangerous parts of their jobs. Personally, I have illegally tinted windows. If I were to get a summons for them, I would not be complaining. I know they are illegal and choose to have them anyway. It's not the cops fault...

On the court cost situation....I got a ticket last summer for ''defective exhaust'' because he didn't have charge for bad *** exhaust. Anyway I took my car to an exhaust shop and had them write up something saying no leaks or defects in exhaust. Went to court got the ticket dismissed but STILL had to pay court costs, I saved 15.00 woo hoo

Not sure what it is about this car that separates it from all the other red Z28s with z06 wheels, but it is very sharp. I reall like how the grille looks....nice job. Get a nice camera and show that detail off with some sun shots. You spent too much time and effort to snap a shot of it in a way that a non-detailed car would looks just as nice! Show that paint off man!

Thanks!

The sunlight was not very good to get nice reflection shots but here are a couple. The first one is a taped off line showing what I started with. The paint wasn't too bad but it still made a huge difference!

I used Menzerna Super Intensive Polish and Power Finish with the PC depending on the panel, seemed to work very well.

Very nice! Looks like it MIGHT woud've cleaned up with a single step using M205 and the right pad just to save some time, but thats crystal clear, nice job buddy. I may have missed it, but whats your choice for LSP?

Looks great! What size wheels do you have? I'm always on the prowl for replacement wheels for my red Formula (if it would look anything like yours with chrome C5's, it'd work pretty good )
