Default Cleaned the SS, 2 great shots!

I took the SS and cleaned it up a little bit

Then I took it to my spot, and took a few shots. My camera decided to **** on me, so I was only able to salvage 2 shots. After I fix the camera I'm gonna head out and take some more shots. Let me know what you guys think.






Thanks for checking them out, I will have more in a few hours!


EDIT***
I forgot to add this picture. It is a shot of my updated interior. I added an 02 Camaro wheel with radio controls and airbag. The airbag actually does work. I know alot of people had a hard time upgrading to this wheel and getting the bag to plug in. I also added silver MacEwen gauges. They fit pretty well except for the gas and battery spot. The E and F didn't even come close to lining up properly.

Good pics and beautiful car. I saw the back end of the car on the first pic and I thought you were rolling on different rims. Then I looked to the front and saw they were ZR1s.

Also is that a hood scoop on the stock hood with the indents shaved or aftermarket?

How the light reflects off the hood it makes it look like it's more of a add on hood scoop. Guess I should've paid more attention to the SS badges.

Once again, good looking car.

HA! I saw this thread right when you posted it, but didn't get a chance to respond. But my first reaction when I did see the pics was that the paint looks showroom. I get home from work and it seems like I'm not the only one that feels that way!

Great job man! The car looks amazing and it's obviouse that you take extreme car with it!

Car to share any secrets to your success with another black f-body owner?

Thanks guys. All I did was clay bar it and use some NXT on it, lol! It did come out very nice. I think alot has to do with the spot where I took my pictures. The lighting is just perfect.
