Default MY Hugger Z28

I picked up this Hugger Z28 in December and have finally finished getting it the way I want it for now. It's my daily driver, so engine mods will be kept to a minimum. I picked it up bone stock with 68k on the clock. Here's what I've done;
Performance
MTI lid, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellows
Nitrous Outlet LS1 plate kit (not quite finished)
Custom true duals with Flowmaster Super 44's dumped before rear end
UMI short stick with black pistol grip handle

Exterior
Strano springs all around with KYB AGX shocks
American Racing TTM's 17x9.5 and 17x10.5 (315/35's out back)
DragonZ28 Z06 style stainless emblems all around
VFN 4" Cowl hood (the first one out of the mold for their new design)
Custom decals on the hood cowl
Berger panel with DragonZ28 stainless "camaro" inserts
I think thats about it...ENJOY!
I do have plans for a grille and tinted windows as well.

Here's a pic of it when I got it



AND NOW...............

I like every thing except the hood. I think it is just too big of a cowl.
But to each his own.

Man-Cowl! Usually I don't like massive cowl hoods but your car pulls it off. Great choice with the black TTMs as well.
