I've always wanted a V8 camaro back with the LT1 was the **** and when the opportunity finally arose I had no idea that i was getting an LS1 !! Man did I luck out. Once i finally started researching i realized just how lucky i got! Anyway I've invested about...
$800 audio system
$1000 RIMS and Tires
$200 e-cutout
$40 lid and filter
= $2,040 Not as bad as i thought ..just hope i can keep it this way!

$15,000 - 2000 Black Camaro Z28 which had only 18K miles when I bought it last May. Original owner installed grille, tint, and catback.
$749 - OEM 35th Anniversary Black-Machined Face SS Rims
$90 - SLP Lid
Mod progress slower than expected due to buying an engagement ring, saving for a house, and moving to CA.

Trust me, I'd much rather be at home (Orlando FL), but I just graduated from school and I need experience in my field. After 2 years or so I can transfer back to Tampa, TX, or Mississippi and keep my CA salary and then some!
