Default pics>my car>bling

as many of u know i enjoy the "show" aspect of the f-body scene as much as i do the "go" aspect. i enjoy takin the car to car show and having people ask questions and of course seeing the little kids point and wow is always neat to see. just wanted to post up some pics from last year to see what people think. nothing over the top just a few tasteful pieces here and there.

Car is absolutely gorgeous. What is that below your vents, a radar detector? If so what kind and how much was it.

gorgeous car, and i can see that others thing the same by your trophy collection. some things i'd suggest for next season's shows to take your car to a higher level would be to:
-paint the bumper support black to match the brackets
-get a mirrored PCM cover to match the other covers
-try to to the !wire mod where you re-rout all the wires on the passenger side and hide them
-if you have a dremel, you can try to polish your TB, MAF, and brake lines up (anything you can find really), they usually polish up fairly easy and adds tons to the appearance of the engine bay
-for the interior, the only thing i see would maybe get a short stick, they're really cheap.

awesome car tho, keep up the good work and trophy-takin!

the car now has a pewter paint LSX manifold and billet 90mm TB. the MAF is already polished (but now has a black 85mm)but i could polish the brake lines.
