There used to be a time when military service ALMOST a pre-requisite for running for congress and was considered beneficial in a presidential bid. Society was different back then.
I appreciate anyone who chooses to serve, regardless of branch, and they all have my thanks! :thumbup:

My Camaro will most likely remain stock, but Hennessey (team) is my aftermarket hero(s) and would have been my choice too. All other Camaros (all years) always turn my head even when I am driving my own. You have one ab-sooo-lutely beautiful and amazingly powerful Camaro. Thanks for sharing. I haven't read all the numerous threads on this site, but this is my favorite thus far.

FYI, when you put them on you'll need to use much better adhesive tape than they came with AND make sure to strip off any wax in that spot first. Don't ask me how I figured that out... Heh! :facepalm:

Can you buy that hood from somewhere? That's the best looking hood I've seen

ITMerc 04-17-2010 09:24 PM

Its a Seibon hood that I got from Southern car parts.

one mistake... you got the sun roof. Kind of gay for a muscle car. The other roof is much meaner looking. Eh, car still has big balls

No argument there. If I was doing it NOW I'd skip the sunroof but when I bought the car I was able to get in on a fully loaded dealership 'stock' car that was already inbound so I only waited about 2 weeks to get it when others were waiting months and months.

When do you get to drive this baby? I know you're probably getting pretty antsy, because I am. I think I check this thread more than 5 times per day :D

ITMerc 04-20-2010 08:08 PM

Hopefully by the end of the week. The wait has been driving me nuts! LOL!

FYI folks: I have the Seibon TS hood and the ST trunk and both have fitment issues with the trunk ones being the worst. Seibon says they're redoing the trunk mold and say it will take 4 weeks, then another 4 weeks to get the first part.

Gorgeous CF but if you get them I would definitely do a stringent test fit and return them immediately if they weren't up to snuff. I'd for sure hold off on the ST trunk till they fix that. (alignment of rear verticle edge to quarter panel body lines.)

Their SEMA stuff looked perfect but the production parts aren't showing the same attention to detail in regards to alignment and body gap consistency.

Epitaph 04-30-2010 08:06 AM

Awe geeze, that's just horrible. That's going to cost them quite a bit if all of their production parts aren't coming out right. Good luck with everything, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

ITMerc 04-30-2010 10:50 AM

They make gorgeous stuff, it just seems they need to do better QC and get their molds right so the parts come out with tight uniform gap spacing and body panel alignment. I can't speak regarding their whole line, just the ST trunk (I'm not the only one who's had the issue) and they're taking action to redo the mold.

Here's a thread link to the new 1000hp dyno video... :drool:

edz10ss 05-23-2011 09:18 AM

sick car . Im thinking of getting that hood from Seibon and the trunk. I bet that car sounds sick in person. Id love to be at a light and have a car like yours pull up next to me. Might do a big single turbo? Inbetween a centrifugal or turbo?
