Thanks
Thanks
Thanks so much to everyone for the compliments on the car!!
I appreciate it very much and I have the members of LS1Tech to thank for giving me the insipration and ideas for the mods I have done so far and plan on doing this comming year.
To answer your questions I had the stripes made from a darker Gunmetal (charcoal) grey color than the stock GM silver stripes to be more subtle. The SLP banner is not available through dealers as I designed it myself and had it custom made as I thought the plain white ones were well........... just too plain.
If you look at the pics in my sig you will see that the banner matches the other custom decals (battery plate, door sills, gauges, calipers) I have as they are all black with a brushed aluminum border to catch the sunlight and tie in with the Gunmetal stripes.The suspension consists of DMS (Dynamic Motor Sports) lowering springs, BMR panhard rod with poly bushings, Koni Dual Adjustable shocks all around and a set of Air-Lift drag bags in the rear. Since the rear tires are taller I also removed the rear spring spacer to lower it another 1/2" over just springs alone. When I had the same sized tires front and back the rear spring spacer was needed to give the car the slight rake I wanted as I do not like the saggy rear look often found with Eibachs.
The DMS springs ride great even when I had the stock Decarbon shocks and make the car handle like a go-kart.
Hope that helps, Greg

I actually had Greg's car set as my wallpaper over a year ago, then I saw the car in person at last years Camarofest and I must say pictures don't even come close to doing his car justice.

EDIT: I don't know why the pictures ended up so small when you click the thumbnails.
