Thanks LT1MAN!
I have them on the front and on the rear. They are absolutely awsome! I'm careful though...for fear of breaking the 10 bolt. I got them from Jeg's about a month ago. Your motor sounds good! One day I'll get mine to sound like yours!

That's pimp! Seems more and more LT1's are on the rise in terms of being well taken care of. That's a GOOD thing.

That paint job is smooth as glass, it's quite amazing. The muffler location though, well it's nothing I'd ever do lol The roads here make it so you need more than 2½" of ground clearance heh

Looks real sharp man, makes me wish I took better care of mine. Just wondering, Do you have your front windsheild tinted? Did you just Zaino the car? or What wax do you use? Once again, Looks real sharp man....

Thanks LT1!
Not the original paint. My car was in the shop well over a year. I just got it back a couple of months ago. I went with HOK black basecoat. Numerous hours and a lot of greenbacks to get it the way it looks now.

Thanks siniSSter!
My front winshield is not tinted, but I am considering doing the top part of it and maybe even the T-tops. I used Meguiar's Showcar Glaze #7 and Final Inspection #34.
