and everybody know the if it's not a stock looking car 99% of LS1TECH isn't going to like it

Its not like the guy is a member of the site, he probably wont ever read this stuff. Unless someone emails him a link to be mean ....
You never know. Example, the cheesy Camaro thread. How do you think those guys feel to open that thread and see thier car posted.

i like to see people do different things with there car but i just don't see any way that you can say the front end of that car looks good by any one's standered. Plus every here knows how bad a v-6 sounds with exhaust like that.

I respect the time, effort, work, and money that went into it. Not something I would do or reccomend doing though.

I will say this:
If he did all that work himself, then he is pretty damn talented.
I don't like what he did, but the work itself looks pretty clean.

looks different, I don't like the grills under the lights though, Little over board, but IMO I never like that years ws6 hood, so its not that bad. but little overboard on the grills. and that trunk spoiler thing isn't my style, but he prolly don't give a $hit!!

I posted this car in the cheezy Camaro thread. It looks like ***, and I cannot respect his work because he's trying to pass a V6 off as a V8. People who look like a V8 model with nothing under the hood deserve to be flamed, spat on, and disrespected.

Hahahahaha that makes me laugh just imagining the disappointment on their face and hanging their heads in shame in front of a computer. LMFAO. Good though, people with cars like that generally do it to try to be cool and i don't care what you say. So if they think others think it's gay as hell, then maybe they won't do stuff like that anymore. For example if i go to a car show and their is some Flamer sitting beside his primer-coated rice mobile, or stupid *** car in general i make an effort to NOT look at or pay any attention to the car.

Yea, I was at the local drag strip a few nights ago, and was talking to a guy with a nice camaro, and when I mentioned ls1tech his reply was " I don't go there, all those guys are close minded immature ******** " I dissagree with the statement a bit, not all of you are

But that car doesn't look good. Take away that hood, and maybe, MAYBe it would look decent, also take away that roll bar, and the inserts.
