Default Pics of the ride yo...haha

I just got done cleaning up the car a little bit. It was getting dark so these pictures are before I did the wheels. I used that turtle wax ice polish and was pretty impressed. Next step will be clear up that nasty headlight...

Please don't talk like that. But nice car you got there. I personally am not a fan of your stripes just because I don't like rally stripes on a Z28. The lines don't have anything to flow with like a hood scoop on an SS. Get some wheels, drop, and tint and a couple other things and you're good to go

Looks good man. Personally I think that's what the rally stripes are for, to break up the desolation of a hood without a scoot or many lines on it.

Nice ride! There is a guy on firehawk.org that posted that he used this stuff on his vehicles, Angus is his name. This is the stuff.

Just in case you didn't know, nearly every modern carnauba wax has silicone in it.

Yeah man I am saving up for some C5 Z06's right now, even though they're all over the place I still like them. Yeah the car came with the loudmouth exhaust and those tips but I'd like to redo the whole setup sometime soon with some lt headers and a tsp x pipe, not so sure on what else but I've got to get cash first lol.

Ehh, see I feel the opposite way. I just don't really like the looks of the stripes that wrap all the way around and ordered these specifically not to. Oh well though, just personal preferences.
