Still sweet though, I'm partial to hard-tops. I think they look so much cleaner. Liking that black painted part of the spoiler too, I've never seen that before.

Also, is that a people-peeper in your sig? Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

Looks fantastic buddy. Wish i was home to take a ride. Im glad to see that my TT2's are getting put to good use. My wife and i went out looking for a new ride tonight. Im not sold on buying one yet but we both fell in love with the GT 5.0. Comparably equipped it's about 8 grand cheaper than the new SS. GM needs to get their head out of their *** before the mustang shuts down camaro production again. Anywho, give me a call sometime tomorrow.

Ride height looks nice. I'm not a fan of slammed F-bodies at all, but yours has just the perfect drop. Is that the result of stock V6 springs with the heavy 408? Or are they aftermarket springs?

That's a Eibach Pro Kit and Bilstein Shocks.

Everything aftermarket that I had on the red car went to this one..the only thing underneath this car that is stock V6 is the Brake Lines & Fuel Lines..lol.

It was a gutted chassis when the swap was taking place..everything was upgraded.

Well I need a new Hood..air bubbles in the paint decided to show up, and after looking at them closely me and my paint guy found them to be the actual surface of the hood falling apart. The coating ontop of the Fiberglass fell apart.

I contacted the seller and explained to them what was going on, and after a little bit of him bullshitting around I kinda told them that we need to come to an agreement on this..he kept giving me the whole "well if you look at my feedback and see.." crap, I told him I really dont care about his feedback, this was between me and him.
Well ole boy on the other end didnt want to talk about it like that so after a few intersting racial slurs to me he told me "**** you" and hung up.
For anyone that knows me in person I thought it was the funniest thing when this guy was calling me the **** he was..
That's some excellent customer service.

Oh BTW this is the seller, and yea I know..ya get what ya pay for..

Damn that sucks man. Like I said last night over the phone, dealing with and painting fiberglass hoods can be a real bitch as we both now know. Hope something good comes from it.
