Just got the EGR and AIR delete completed except the block-off plates. Instead
of buyin 'em I'm gonna have a friend weld the holes in the old piped plates up...
after cutting the tubes off. Then we'll grind em flat and put em back on!

Nice and cheap!

P.S. Thanks to the many who answered my dumb questions. You were a BIG help.

After yet another set of wheels, and the body kit:







The engine bay after the swap





After the modified stripe kit:





The engine bay how it sits now:




After new hood, and my current set of wheels:

Looks sick. Skip the flames, the custom color is enough.

DUDE! I see your car all the time. Unbelievable, I didn't think there was anybody on this forum that was in Cleveland. That's wicked. How come you don't bring your car to the Cruise in? There's NEVER any late model F-bodies

Got mine in 2003 completely stock.Then I decided to install a flowmaster exhaust, hooker headers, hooker y pipe.

Then came the Ceta bumper and paint the stock wheels, take off the side moldings.

Then I installed eibach springs, drilled slotted rotors, painted calipers.

I decided to change the seating in it as well as a short throw shifter.

Changed the rims on it. Added grand sport stripes.

Got rid of the flowmaster and installed a hooker cat back, painted the tips. Installed slp lid, did wire mod.

As well as installing wings west lip.

I'm just waiting now for my VFN hood to come in and get painted. It has been a blast doing all this stuff to my car. Everybody here has great looking cars!
