Thats awesome man! I was thinking it was SOM too, but I learned something today. I never knew TA's came with that color (Rare). I had a 97 Camaro that was Cayenne Red Metallic. I loved that color. I dreamed about have a TA that color, but I chose a blue instead.

that's funny... I have a cutout in the same spot! Eventually I got sick of the drone though and threw a Powerstick in the I-pipe. Sounds much better! If you're going to stay near stock, you might just add some kind of muffler to the i-pipe and call it a day. (instead of a whole catback) There are lots of options if you decide to go that route...

Thanks for the comments everyone

It happens when the file size is over 1MB. Depending on your digital camera and what resolution you take your pics it, most will probably be over this size. My 3.2 MP takes pics at 2048X1536. These can be anywhere from 1.2MB to 1.5MB depending on the composition of the pic. I'd resize them first with a photo editing tool then upload to Photobucket to ensure all your pics are the same size and UNDER 1 MegaByte. I've had Photobucket resize my originals to something rinky dink like 500X351. Their "resizer" is garbage.

Slick looking car BTW. Awesome color!

Look at what the UPS fairy brought me





The rims are American Racing Rogue series in chrome and the hood is a GM hood (ouch!)

Finally got it put on!



I kinda like it flat black, it gives it a cool, old-school muscle car look. Its still getting painted asap though.

BTW, save up the extra cash for an OEM hood! I had it perfectly aligned in less than 2 minutes, no gaps, no imperfections anywhere
