Default Finished my winter project(pics)

Hi all, I don't post, much, but I do alot of reading, looking and researching here.. Finished my car up so thought I'd post some pics.. Let me know what you think, good, bad or otherwise? Over the winter I did the following to my car: PPG Torch red LS6 intake, MTI polished Billet TB, Polished Valve covers, coil pack relocation, carbon Fiber lid, Wire mod, Hood cable release mod, AIR system removal, Fuse and PCM chrome covers, Autometer digital tach w/shiftlite, Spohn STB, Spohn tunnel mount Torque Arm w/driveshaft loop, side trim removal, Swapped out the Pewter Trans Am door emblems with gloss black, Carbon Fiber WS6 badge, MBA billet caps and Silver Chameleon tail Panel. All other mods listed on my fquick page(in sig), but those listed above are what I did over the winter. thanks for looking!

Hey how do you like that Autometer DPSS? I'm thinking about getting one of those to replace my 5" tach since my car sees less track duty now. But I still want something more accurate then the POS stock tach that goes to at least 7 grand w/ a shift light. How much was it, from who did you buy it, and how hard was the install? I read they were a PITA to install and heard you need some box from Autometer for it to work? Thanks!

I bought the gauge from Thunderracing, cost $179 I think.. I like it, right at eye level and the shift lite is BRIGHT(you can choose from 6 colors)!! They have 2 different versions, mine is the level 2 gauge.. Piece of cake to install, red to a switched 12 volt, black to ground, green to the PCM tach wire.. Took about 30 minutes to install.. No box required..
