Yeah I think I would rather park it closer though so you can keep an eye on it. The birds still get it even if you park farther down like you were?

Yeah I couldn't tell if it had a berger panel or not, Josh had said that yours had a berger panel on it, but I couldn't tell from the angle that I was at and how the sun was hitting it. Do you have taillight blackouts too because it kinda looked like that from what I could see.

they r Euro Clear Black Housing headlights. pmme if u want the web site. 180 with shipping and insurance. I hate halo headlights. I got the blackouts from a friend; they r gts's. i didnt know how they would look, but it works. The berger panel isnt a real one; its the factory piece painted with autozone trim paint. Its all in the prep work; rattle can turned out good. Does anyone know where to get the brushed aluminum letters for the back (not chrome). i want to get a black billet grille with the old school SS emblem on it. Nice chrome ZR-1's on the Z jrob

ya the headlights look good, and the price sounds good too, a guy on the board started to offer the sanding and full whistler treatment for about 150. if i dont go that route i will definitely hit you up for that website, cuz mine are bad and somthings gotta change. thanks i really like them, i had the ten spokes for a while and they just didnt do it for me...i think you ought to think about going black with your zr1's, itd really set your car off with all the black you have now. ive seen some damn good rattle can jobs!

since when is trying to avoid a pothole and goin around a corner at the sametime a crime? Apperently the indiana state cop that pulled me over thought so and he thought i was drunk driving. The joke was on him cuz i blew 0.000. So gives me a written warning saying failure to signal lane change. Know what i say BS! He had nothin on me. stupid young cops trying to make money on little 5 weekend. 3 weeks left of this BS then off to US41 for some driving that the cops cant control.
