Congrats on your new purchase. I'm glad you did get you a new camaro. that was a really sad week for f-bodies on Ls1tech. 3 or 4 were out of commission in a matter of days that week. I'm sure you're happy you got another color that would work out good with your old color scheme. I personally think that black looks better on pewter than white. One quick thing though, your side mirrors are just begging to be painted black. Besides that, very, very clean looking. Awesome work!

You'd had it for a day and already back out on the track...WICKED!!!!

Oh yeah! So now that you've got those slick looking Zr1s on there howsabout selling me those 10-spokes?????

I see you have a rotty as well... they are fantastic dogs, more human than a lot of people I know and work with. My rotty, Roxanne, actually purrs like a cat when you pet her head... pretty funny to hear a 110lb dog pur, especially a rotty.



Oh yeah, the car looks great.

Just out of curiosity, how was the Pro 5.0 sloppily installed? I installed mine a few weeks ago and I don't really see how someone could screw it up?? There's really only one way it can go on.
