Default Before and after pics of my Hugger Orange Camaro
I have had my car about 10 months now and have done a pretty big makeover. The car is a factory Hugger Orange Z with tan interior that I replaced with Ebony. It had a SLP Ultra Z hood that I replaced with a OEM SS hood and spoiler. I just got the TTII's put on and painted the centers black. The motor has had some nice details added to it also. Here are a few pics of it before and after.

Before:

DAMN! That is amazing! Reminds me of Tony's (Nine Ball) old car. I just wish your mirrors were orange as well, that would make it 100% perfect!

Yeah that is a different camera I used on the after pics. I was pissed when I saw these pics because it looks red! I will have to make my buddy use his camera to take some good pics of it now, mine suck!
I guess I should have explained about the heads, this car had a serious oil burning problem when I bought it. So I had to tear it apart right away and send them to Craig at GTP to get fixed. When I finally got it running I took it to the track and the clutch went out in it! So now it has a new clutch in it that I am trying to get broke in. I am looking forward to just enjoying it this year instead of working on it consantly! Thanks for the compliments guys!

Me and a friend of mine painted them in my garage on Friday afternoon. I had them at 2 different paint shops to get done and after weeks would go by that they hadn't even touched them I got pissed and did them myself. They turned out pretty good.
I agree on the mirrors also, maybe that will be the next upgrade.
