Nice car!! You just made me glad I'm picking up a 98 NBM TA on Friday.... almost bone stock. The only mod is a B&M Ripper shifter... Cant wait to get modding! I've been out of an F-body for a year now, can't wait to get back into it!

My last baby was a 98 Mystic Teal TA, lowered, with WS6 wheels.... It was a sexy beast. Sold it in early 08...

already covered.

Excellent choice. We all know NBM is the best color for f-bodys. Be sure to post up some pictures after you pick it up!

got any more pics of your drop? I think if you do the rear hose mod, you will sit flush even on both sides.....
