Default Took some pics of the DSG Camaro (no 56K)

I had my wifes Camaro painted Dark Shadow Grey, the same color as my Cobra.
I took a few pics of it today.
It is still a 3.8/A4, but I will be swapping an LT1/T56 set up in it soon.
Once we drop the Lt1 in it, it will have the windows re tinted, nice Magnaflow exhaust tips, a lower stance, and probably a set of 18x10" Crome Zo6's on the back.

Here's a couple before pics:





DSG

I think you should smoke the corner lenses and the lights on the side near the bumper:thumbup:

Looks nice. If you're going to go to all the trouble of swapping out the motors why not put an LS1 in it?

That was my exact first thought.

Flamin' bird is right. The LS1 cranks out more horses stock, and weighs like 95lbs less than the LT1, not to mention it would probably be easier to drop in.

No pics with the tops off?

That was the origional plan, but we ran into a deal on a wrecked 97 Z that we couldnt pass up.

I do plan on swapping an LS based motor into one of my cars eventually (its not an F-Body)

How much could I expect to pay on a paint job like yours?
