Thanks for all the compliments everyone! And yes the passenger side of the hood and headlight cover are a little low If a big girl ever tries to sit on your hood/headlight take whatever drastic actions to make sure it does not happen

Stupid girl that lived down the hall in the dorm from my gf freshman year was walking down the sidewalk as we pulled in so we pulled up to talk to her and she sat there before the car was even stopped! I should've just taken off at that point and taught her a lesson LOL

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

My goal was to make it look good so that I'd be really happy with the car after it did finally get an LS1 under the hood!

It would have been nice to see some pics on the sun. I've yet to see some direct sunlight pics showcasing the TC-8/3 combo. It looks good, but it's hard to tell how well those really work.

Nice photos, very clean car! What suspension setup do you have? I'm looking forward to picking up some new tropicare stuff since I used my whole clay up on my passenger door Do you put anything OVER the polish? I'm still new to the whole polish thing, I only ever wax.

Thanks! Be sure to PM any of us with any questions regarding the Tropi-Care products

You can top the polish with either one of our waxes to pick up a slightly different look and shine! And also and added layer of protection.

My suspension is an Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein HD shocks/struts.
