Sorry I missed what you asked earlier...the chrome plating was done by AAA Chrome and Gold in Hendersonville TN (google them). They do unbelievable work and have great turn around times on your pieces. They are not cheap though!

question: where/who did the embroidery on your seats?
Yeah, thats what you said...so of course I had to see if you where right or not!

The embroidering was done by the guy from TX that everybody around here uses...I cant think of his name but do a search and his name will be everywhere!

LOL...no, from the spot those pics were taken in I drove it about 100 yards up on to my trailer....pulled it about 100 miles home then backed it off into the shop! I did take the side moldings off yesterday though!

Honestly, I doubt I drive it much at all between now and the TA Nationals next month. I do plan to put a set of AGXs on my silver 98 TA soon (with the stock 02 WS6 springs from the orange car) and will play around a lot with that one.

I can only strive to make my SOM WS6 look as perfect as this one. I think I want to roll on the same suspension setup this fall... after the new rims of course. 18x9.5 fronts and 18x11s out back Chrome c6 rims. But yes this car is perfect.

Thanks guys...I plan to do a much nicer photoshoot this weekend now that I have the side moldings removed. I will make a new post in the Appearence Section but will add a few to this link too.

Thanks again for the compliments!

Your car is awesome man!! Just like everyone says...one thing that catches me though, I've been noticing in different threads, that you mainly trailer this car around, never really gets driven? I thought the point to getting performance stuff like the KYB's and Strano Springs, etc.. is to put it down to the pavement and put them through their paces?

Anyways, your car is def the Perfect Show Car.....I just wish one day I can be able to have the luxury of retiring my T/A and just throw money into her and get her to show quality! For now, I'm content with driving the hell out of her....then rebuilding....then drive more...etc...

I dont drive it because I choose not to. Just like I spend money on it because I choose to. Two back to back Best Of Shows tells me I am doing something right. Besides I have another TA, a Corvette and Formula to play with if I want to drive one.

Thats cool....just curious. Hopefully one day, I can have other cool vehicles to drive and then park the T/A that I have now....right now I'm stuck with my wifes Corolla, her sisters Mountaineer(when she leaves it with us) and my T/A.

I would love to have a Vette as my dd/fun car and the T/A, but kids are a fast way to see all of your $$ go...bye bye!

Several members PMed me asking about my rotors...they are Quick Stop Pro's. I doubt they are any better than any other D&S rotor...or even stock ones for that matter but they look real good IMO.

Here are a couple better pics of them:
