Default Pics of my car, so what do ya think...
Hey guys got some pics of my car...

It coudl use a lowering but sort of dealing with cancer and a lifetime of medical bills so car money is tight. And aiming for a high 13 second run n/a in the car anyways. Also need to do something with the tailpipe, thinking of just cutting it shorter so its not noticeable.

nothing too fancy or special but

2000 3.8L V6 Camaro 5-speed
-t-top converted
-factory zr1s with 275s
-shaved lid w/ homemade smooth bellows
-cutout on stock catback
-clear corners + 93-96 tail light conversion
-hurst billet+ shifter with ls1 speed inc short stick
-And cars been zainoed but exterior been "neglected" do to recent medical problems but paints still looks good.

Looks sharp. The t-top conversion looks great too. Really tricks your mind into not believing it's a V6 car.
