Finally did some work on Sonja today. I have been putting it off for too long now. I painted the rear emblem to break up the rear black out. I have pictures of the project that I will post tomorrow after it all dries and I get it mounted. I forgot to mention that I got some Pfadt drop springs. I will take some pics and make sure to do the before and after ride height.

Very nice, I love what you have done with it! It's threads like these that really make me wish I would have made a build thread

Thank you very much. I have always wanted to mod a car and show the progress and since it sort of a "thing" on here, it was a no brainer for me. It's too bad that you didn't make a build thread.

I have pics of the rear emblem painted and the new C.A.I. being installed but my computer was not cooperating last night. I also have a Magnaflow cat back exhaust on order with special plans for that. Stay tuned.

The black went first

The first of many performance mods. Got a sweet deal from Apex at CamaroFest and had Ted Jannetty do the install. What are really nice guy he is.

I can see that

If only it weren't for those pesky responsibilities of being an adult. LOL Bills, the enemy of modding cars.

Getting my cat-back installed this weekend. All for the price of a trade for my stock grill. Winning!!
