ZO6's look real nice on your ride. I think much better than the TT's. Good move. Now, are you going to replace that flat hood?
Well I am replacing the flat wing with an SS one. As for the hood, we'll have to see how that turns out in the future. I've seen all the hoods and its either too expensive, or just doesn't look good. So for now I like the flat hood the best.

Replied to your message in the wheels section. If the extra amount doesn't cost to much I might have to seriously think about it even after getting these, lol. Oh and the TT2's are (were) 17x9.5 all around.

JonSS - I almost bought an ultra Z hood, but still ended up being to pricey for me right now.

Steve, my 18" ZO6's are almost brand new on a car that is not a daily driver. Just curious, how much additional cash would you be looking for? Are the HRE's 18's

Front 9.5
Rears 10.5

Well I dont wanna highjack a thread but.. its a big IF.. IF the person that is buying my SS sends me the rest of the cash as agreed ($28.5k) I will be demodding $3k off the car.. that would be tail lights (please dont email about them till I post for sure) and the HRE's.. I paid $2600 for them along with my 18" Z06 rims so I would be asking $2300 plus your rims tires.. my tires are in very good shape. The wheels alone run $4600 new, they are full polish with a clear coat. If you want to be on the contact list just shoot me your email addy..

98SilverZ - They are 18x9.5 in front and 18x10.5 in the back.

02SilverWS6 - I do have picture's somewhere with a black camaro, 18in TT2's, and the prokit. I just need to find them. I'll try to get back to ya soon on this. As for the rims scratching, you will have one here and their from rocks ect... but thats the great thing with polished; you can just buff it right out. My center cap won't spun loose and scratched the spokes, took me about 5 mins to get it all out .

Those rims are tight. I would definitely get em! I agree with JonSS though, something with the hood next...

The Z06's look SO much better than your TTII's.
Your car actually reminds me of Steve's SS with them on it <tears up>.

I can't believe how far your car has come. It looks awesome. I remember when it didn't have the GS stripes. No TTII's, no clear corners, no fancy grille, and it was a 4x4! :p You should be proud of it.

Now that it looks nice...how about making it fast?

I've slowly been working on that also . 2 weeks ago I just had a Vig 3200 Converter installed along with the B&amp;M supercooler and tuning (shift points, no more torque mannagement, no speed limiter, ect...). Was gonna take it to the track today but they are closed .

With that converter and tires alone you'll see mid 12's.
