Default Throw Back...the Original Bling Master

It's been years since Steve's been around these parts and goes back two screen name changes for me personally....early 2000's, but he was considered the king of bling! Dude was ahead of curve and probably inspired a few us along the way....

Exactly....crazy detail in a lot of areas. But by today's standards, I'd be like....why didn't he do this or that, lol. Progress I guess...

Was always fun to see what he was going to do next...

I got some of my engine bay inspiration from his car. Well, you know how mine turned out.

He definitely kept moving the bar for engine bay, and even interior appearance year after year with his car.

Was this the same guy that had the black TA with the entirely polished engine and twin turbo's? or am I thinking of a different guy?

I remember Steve and his car. He certainly had a clean sano Camaro. He now has a highly modified 1 gen resto modded Camaro called Bad Penny. I've been here since the late 90's but lost my screen name when the site crashed some years ago.

lol... Anyone remember MM Motorsports?

I had 19" wheels very soon after Nineball did, and it was blasphemy at the time.

Still is today with 900rwhp, but who cares.

Ah now I remember the car, the wheels always stood out not just because of size. the engine bay didnt really stick in my mind as much. The guy I was thinking of earlier I thought had multiple cars.

19" really fit the body really well if you go with a minimalist approach to the design.

Still sharp car and doesnt look that dated. I well taken care of 4th gen camaro or bird doesnt really look dated until you see the interior........

I think that was Joshua. I think he eventually sold that for a C5.

Love this car, looks great. Who had the Camaro with the fully polished engine bay in Washington? I remember drooling over the polished LSX intake...

Yup. Thought it was yours for a while, but started noticing differences. I remember how clean that ride was.

BTW, yours is just as beautiful, amazing work you've done.

I loved the interior on Steve's car and the hood stripe. He has excellent taste.

Definitely some time in the engine bay. I know how much time I've spent trying to make mine look like it does, I can't imagine having to work with polished parts everywhere...
