Washed, clay bared, and waxed yesterday. Had to take tint off the windows as it was around 27 and the legal limit is 35.

mmmmmmmm

shiny black WS6

what can be better than that?

oeconcepts on Ebay. For around $1,000 you can get qty 4 wheels and tires 275/40/17's and put some nice chrome wheels on that ride. That's $250 per hole already mounted and balanced and that WS6 would look really really nice with chrome rims

Does that have an aftermarket catback or the stock 2otl?

Dynoxmax 1 3/4 longtube headers with catted Y-pipe and a Hooker catback

Hood was repainted at one time because clear coat was peeling. I plan to get those as well as the chrome inserts for the hood and side.

Sorry to hear that, but nice replacement! The insurance company will often negotiate with you about the buy-back amount. It's less hassle for them for you to keep the car, rather than them taking it back and sending it to auction.

I am not helping you any more because you broke the cardinal rule about exhaust videos

A: they are done in the daylight

B: the camera is placed on the ground angled so we can see you as you approach the vehicle

C: you are supposed to walk quickly to the vehicle as if there is an emergency

D: we get to comment on your footwear, especially if you're wearing crocs.....

So I've gone ahead and ordered a few things for it already:

MGW Short Shifter + Hurst Ball (as stated, Hurst Ball already arrived)
Chrome hood and side inserts
Chrome hood RAM AIR lettering and TRANS AM rocker panel overlay
Already have my TSP headers from the other car and "cats"

I really want to get new wheels sooner than later, but will probably wait until after the cold season is over in case we do get bad weather so they don't get screwed up too quickly.
