well the carshow was pretty cool, my bro showed up before i had to leave so i got to take both the car and the bike, anyway some pretty nice cars out there, lots of older cars, but mostly the ones im interested in are the guys i know that bring thiers out there (forgot the freaking camera have to get pictures next time might do it again in december if its not to cold then)
had a pewter 11.6 firehawk 01 or 02 think its a 02
another SOM 02 firehawk think the owner said it was one of 3 for that year model with its options
a 1995 LT1 Firehawk Formula hardtop all stock with less than 50k on it
4 04-06 GTO's one of which was supercharged
2 C5 Z06's and one H/C nitrous 99 FRC thing is sweet
the usual couple of vipers and C6 Z06's didnt show up this time prolly cause it was kinda cold,
D1-SC procharged fox body, car sounds amazing
99 i think SS on TT2's
LT1 Z28
few other regulars that didnt show up because of the weather though, not a bad turn out for how cold it was though

yeah i really miss the color of the zr-1s but i like the design of these and the lip a lot more, im planning on getting these powdercoated that same graphite color or gloss black though within the next 3-4 months, cant wait best of both worlds, had somebody photochop it for me but the old photoshop thread got deleted and i never saved it and it looked awesome with the wheels i have now black in the center with polished lip.

LOL on the bra, i know i know i hate it as much as you guys but the paint is really that bad. it must have been repainted before i got it a while back with a crappy paintjob on the nose cause after i had it about 1 year the paint started coming off all the way down to the fiberglass, and everywhere else on the bumper the clearcoat was coming off so i just got this on for the time being. As soon as i get the hood, the paint work starts, and im hoping to have the hood around april next year around my birthday, just trying to decide on a ram-air or a cowl hood i just found recently that looks baddass
