Just an odd question, but are you thinking of blacking out the roof as well.

Sick car. Love under the hood. Wow.

The only way to do it is with a vinyl, and not to thrilled with that... So I am going to paint the roof black to complete it... I think it will suffice...

zslewis 06-02-2011 10:47 PM

Here are the photo's that I took for Roto-Fab...

So today was a productive day. I went to a local paint shop and got a quote for the paint job, although a little more than I was hoping for still a decent price. Gonna run me 2500 for the paint job. Went to the dealership to get replacement wiper blades of course they didnt have any there so I will have to go back tomorrow. Then my curiosity kicked in...

I have been wanting to get my twin turbo system for a while now just havent had the money for it. About 2 weeks ago I set a date for myself, will have twin turbo in by Oct. Well that is becoming more of a reality after today...

Over the past week I have been talking to MTI Racing personnel in Marietta GA, and they gave me a quote for the system, install cost, and the tune... Was about what I expecting price wise, so I used that as a base line to go off of... Went to my bank and asked if it would be possible to get a loan for said amount and it was approved right away... So once I get my speakers done and paint job done, twin turbo is next. But I also need to get my headers too, still trying to figure out how to do this... by the time all is done I will have spent close to 20k this summer alone... once all is said and done it will be time to start paying off some of this debt... Good thing I got promoted and my pay kicks in next month...

As for this weekend I plan on getting my footwell lights wired up and my Trunk Lid panel mounted and wired up. Pics will follow when that work is done...

Roto-fab 1 06-03-2011 07:45 AM

Thanks for taking the time to get the engine bay pics-they look great!:happyanim:

pyr0b0y 06-03-2011 11:43 AM

nice build. I have a CF hood as well and am still waiting on the Seibon ST trunk. I was debating on what to do with the engine bay, but really like the engine covers and CF accents! :coolpics:

Overflow 06-03-2011 05:39 PM

Nice!

zslewis 06-03-2011 09:16 PM

Headers

Just caught your tag...............Priceless :respekt:

The AAC lights really look good!

zslewis 06-05-2011 12:47 PM

:)

That is one of my buddies tags that he used to have on one of his Talon's. But he kept the plate for obvious reasons... Its just hilarious...

zslewis 06-06-2011 07:00 PM

T3 front bumper and splitter shipped from Phastek today... Which means I should get it before I go to throw my car to be painted... Already have the SLP delete for the mail box slot, talked to a body shop and they said that they will make it look like its all one piece so it wont have the cracks from where the SLP delete is...

zslewis 06-07-2011 09:03 PM

So I dropped off my car today to get the stereo put in... So I am without the Camaro for a week... Instead I am driving my beater... 93 Honda Del Sol...

edgar3 06-07-2011 09:44 PM

nicely done...

zslewis 06-10-2011 01:21 AM

Well so far they have the stereo in and they were almost done with one of the fiberglass boxes... Here is a pic of the stereo...

Muy bonito carro felicidades con el.

CONGRATS ON COTW! Are those Lexani lx-15's all blacked out. If so, we have the same exact wheels. I love them. They look great on your car. They give the car such a nice stance. Love the hood painted black.

Congrats on COTW! That's a Beautiful ride. I'm usually not too fond of Rally Yellow, yours however, is incredible.
