Default SOM photoshoot
well, Shane and I had been talking about doing a photoshoot of his 2002 SOM WS6 and our 2002 SOM SS for about seven months... with the UT tower lit up with the "1" on the side, we couldn't resist it any longer... so we headed out to a local parking garage and these are what we came up with... enjoy!

any time a UT team takes first place/national championship (e.g. NCAA football, college world series, ladies volleyball, ladies basketball, etc) they light the tower up orange with a "1" lit up through the windows... its hard to make out from where we were at, but its visible in some of the late evening shots... its kind of rare (especially in regards to a NCAA football championship, since the last one was in 1970) so it was a special occasion photo opp

Nice pics guys. The SS needs a touch more exterior mods and then the photoshoot would have been supreme.

we seriously thought about putting the Osiris rims on the SS just for one day... then it would have been two 2002 SOM specialty cars with Boyd's wheels on them like an advertisement only nobody is getting paid

for clarification purposes, here's a pic of the Osiris wheels on the 2001 Z28 they currently reside on... and a pic of the same car with the Forgelines that usually inhabit it
