Default Been waiting since October!
Since the ordering of our Camaro in October, we've been anxious to put her in our garage. And finally on Wednesday we got. We were supposed to have her on Tuesday but the Batter cable needed to be replaced. So ya, it was a total bummer, but hey, it was worth the wait.
When we got it, we drove it all the way down to Galveston, then back up to Tomball, and EVERYWHERE we went, we had people stopping, giving thumbs up, BOWING. This guy at a gas station nearly fainted. So here are some pictures for ya...ENJOY!














^^And here is the Camaro and the Charger

Until someone is eager to, and to NOT run me off the road.
Well actually my brother will be the one racing it IF there ever comes a day.

Looks good. Did you have the stripes custom ordered or are they offering a matte black stripe kit? I though the body kit was supposed to be painted?
