Default Bad quality pics for now

These pics don't do the car or the spoiler justice, in fact in the pic it looks kinda ricer but in person it isn't that bad...although I do prefer the no ground effects look myself. Jyla likes her GF so I finished them off with a nice front spoiler. IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING THIS APRIL I'll take some good pics!

I like it, I think it goes really good with the rest of the car.

I really hope somebody, namely Mark, makes some comment about this line! GFX*.

That front spoiler looks really nice, Bobby! I usually am not a fan of the ground effects on the F-bodies, but damn... that looks good!

See I am kind of old school, in the 80's the z28 was given ground effects, now it is oppsite. I always wanted them, lol. Now I like them either way.

Spoiler looks great Bobby.

Any plans for some clear corners? Normally I'm not fond of the them, but for some reason, I actually like the clears on the LS1 cars.

Thanks guys! Yeah Todd I'm with you although if it were only my car it wouldn't have them I would have taken the factory ones off and spent the money I did on the front spoiler elsewhere. What funny is I really like Trans ams which of course have GFX while the formulas I don't like as much (not that I don't like them just my preference is a TA with a Firebird)

I'm going to be installing the Eibachs I got from Sardog soon so we'll see how long this front end lasts.....She seems to drive the vette OK though at least when I'm in the car....

Yep I'm thinking about clear corners. But she REALLY wants a black top right now. I'm even consider dyeing it a guy did it in the convertible forum and it turned out OK. I found a replacement top but they are big bucks. I may put some clear corners and some Halo's to complete the front though before the top. We'll see. I really need some shocks for it, but nobody can recommend any decent inexpensive ones. Its either Bilstiens or nothing it seems, I don't see how Jyla needs better shocks than me but at the same time I don't want to buy some gas adjusts or monroes and have the car handle horrible and bounce everywhere......Sooooo many mods soooo LITTLE money

By the way Mikey campsites is researved it was cheaper for the weekend after Memorial day!

Bobby,

Maybe you should ride in mine with the Eibachs and KYB's. I think it rides really good for budget struts.

Do you have the gas adjust or the AGX's? I thought you had the AGX's. If you say the gas adjust ride good then so be it I'll order some tomorrow for the front and just do the rears later!

Bobby, you should pull the ZO6 out and park the Blazer in the garage!!

I think the front end of the Camaro looks good. But I really like the *** end of the Vette!!!

You're right, AGX. Only $10 difference (each)

Reasons for getting AGX:

1. CHEAP bastard I am, and having Eibach Pros sitting in the garage 2 years waiting for struts...
2. Adjustable, albeit no comparison to Koni by any stretch
3. Cheap!
4. For $10 over Gas-Adjust I couldn't see how I could go wrong.

Thanks guys I thought I was going to get a bunch of "looks" ricer comments I think I've done pretty well with making it kind of original with pretty cheap parts. I've gotten some great deals from Ryans SS hood to the trade I made with Jeff for painting and installing basically the spoiler.

If you ever need help with anything just ask Jeff you can stand and watch him, make fun of him and he still does all the work AND pays for dinner
