Default Frostbite is being reborn again

I have been on here for a while, and my car has gone through many changes over the years. Was a nitrous car years back, STS turbo car, le2 heads and cam ,all on a forged bottom end. About 2 years back i blew that motor by spinning the cam.bearings and i decited go big or go home this time. I but the bottom end with top notch parts Callies,JE, compustar and i upgraded the heads from Le2 to le3 and had the intake ported more. Custom blower cam and all.

I also repainted the car this past summer and shaved the moldings,rear camaro letters,added a big block stinger hood and freedom spoiler,lowered the car more. Filled the holes in the engine compartment.

My interior, these are some older pictures before i removed the Tachometer and dash carpet.The interior is what i like, i was sick of seeing everything grey/black plain plastic. I wanted to add a two tone style and what i came up with was skull and carbon fiber hydro graphics. The lower dash and door handle plastics are skulls and the shifter plate and radio shroud are carbon fiber.

The stereo i added because i love music and was sick of the bose system issues i was always having. So alpine type s componets with type r 12 powered by mb quart amps. Kills the bose crap in every way, next will be a double din nav unit.

Was that Bose issue a clicking when you changed channels or music? Like it would thunk on then thunk off? If so, argh it's annoying!

Clean work, I'm not a big fan of personalized interiors (even in my own cars). But the work looks well executed.

I used to have huge stereo's too (my Suburban would shake your hair from 15 feet away at only half way up). But that got stolen, so I'm all about keeping it small and hidden now. I like good clean sound, but only loud enough for me to enjoy with the T-Tops off, windows down, and doing 80 down the highway without hearing anything else. I do occasionally miss being able to drown out the A-hole at the stop light blaring his radio with some Garth Brooks or Lady Gaga though...... Well, in my Camaro I just rev my engine now. LOL.

I never had any bose issues, i had an interface for a while that worked great. Then my radio started acting up and i was ready for cleaner sound so out with the bose and in with the alpines. I only added the bass because when i go to car shows the back looked so incomplete and i thought maybe i could add some style and better sound. Once i did the overall stereo is like concert sounds only better, plus for track days it takes 5 minutes to pop it all out. I have dont it all stripped interiors, no ac,only a driver seat yiu name it. Im at the point now where i would rather have everything i want and just change a pulley then worry abou. Anything else. I like driving to the track with the ac on, swapping a tune and pulkey real quick along with tires ,racing then driving home with ac.
