How come you decided to slap on exhaust/lid? I would think you could score more money to leave it stock since a lot of people dont like to buy modified cars, especially LS1's it seems like.

I know some people don't like modded f-bodies too much to buy, but the general public seem to slap exhausts on these cars, you can't find one anymore thats basically stock, they almost all have a flowmaster on them because of people that know little about them. So I think the exhaust would be a selling point.

I think I've done enough to the car to set it apart and still sell it for a good price, like I said I got a VERY VERY good deal on the car, we'll say it was less than I paid for the 98', and I got a great deal on that too.

The trunk was open, the camera was in my bag which was in the back, lol, my bad.

Thanks for the comments guys, I think it looks alot better!

Sounds like an all around good deal...I saw you in the T/A (you were westbound on W. Edmond Rd, late afternoon)- the car looks great. You shouldn't have much trouble selling it.

I found a white 98 Vette up around SW Mizzu. had like 105k on it & asking around $16k. the only problem is... targa top. but hey, those are tasteful mods to set the car off for an advantage over a completely stock car. isn't there a law that says if you sell x amount of cars within x amount of time you have to have a dealer's/sellers license?
