BAD *** PIC!!!! Here I did a lil photoshop of it. Thought it might look good to a little more towards dark. I love the fact that you dont have the ram air hood. Dont get me wrong it looks good, but everyone has one or wants one. I think your hood and the firehawk hoods are the 2 best on this body.

I wish too. No way in the world I'll ever shoot a picture that nice. I need a new camera now. Excuse me while I go smash my old one.

Honestly man like I said the car has it's flaws, but overall the paint is in good condition I just need to get rid of swirl marks. I put it in one show for the hell of it (mostly to help out the guys that paid for the show). I'm gonna enter in another one this August. I don't do much to the outside. Every couple months I wash it/claybar/wax/etc.

not to swerve the thread into a different direction...but twice a month might be a bit excessive. If you keep it waxed, **** would be 3 times a year tops.

Yeah I wouldn't do mine that much.

Thanks again to all of those with the kind words. It doesn't go unappreciated.

Thanks guys. I actually sold some Z06's to my dad for his C4 Vert and we were gonna switch wheels tonight, but two of his lugs decided to be gay and not come off or go back on, so they're gonna have to be broken off.

I figured it'd be nice for a change, but I do love the black on black.
