New pictures of the Z
Monday, June 16, 2008 9:56 AM
Its been about 6 months since ive posted any pics, and i've changed it up a bit since then.

These pics were taken at Dropjaw's Ryde or Die Car Show in Jacksonville NC. I'm not sure if the show was simply Top 40, or top of each class and there were 40 classes... I took home a trophy, and the judge told me i was going to be classed in Domestic Sport Compacts. I think it was just Top 40. Between all the cars, trucks, and bikes there was about 500 or so vehicles there. Sadly only two or three other J Bodies, but tons of Cobalts, and SRT4s.














The interior is a work in progress which is why only the center console is painted. I'm keeping my stock interior clean and buying duplicate parts from the yard/dealer to paint.

I have been on here often for about 2 years now and I think this is the first time I have seen pics of your car. I like how you faded the paint on the IDI cover and on the strut tower bar but for some reason it just does not look right to me on the rims nor does the cruise control. Also IMO the silver ends on the strut tower bar look really out of place. All in all I like it though.

Thank you

the strut bar was more of a practice than anything. i was attempting to use chrome paint on the ends, but as soon as the clear hit the paint, it dulled out... so i think i'm going to eventually send it off to be completely chromed.

as for the wheels... IMHO they look a lot better when the light hits it (due to flake in the paint)

yeah i figured that was the same intake. it may have actually matched your color w/o being painted. and its too bad you cut it up....had i known that i would have tried to talk you into buying a cheap-o intake rather than cutting up a good AEM. ahh well.
