Go to your Cardomain site, right click on the image, then go to properties, copy the web address then come back here and when you go to reply to post, click on the IMG button at the top and paste that web address

Not sure about the grill....

And that thing on the center console was there when we bought it. I assume its from using that to brace you as you 'fall' into the car... because whenever i get into the car, i put my elbow there and i kinda like get it stuck. its annoying,but we ordered a new one of those and it should be here soon.

Wow man, your car is gorgeous...the only thing i'd do is paint the grille black and get some clear side marker lights.


I'd love to own a nice stock 3rd gen someday (ie: no mechanical problems)

i took it out for some good country backroad driving today (for the first time) and i absolutely fell in love. Before i was just in love with the how the car looked, but now i am in love with everything. It ride sooo nice and it has such a road prescene. It handles amazingly, accelerates smooth and fast, and everyone stops and stares at it. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really think i'm going to need to have a F-body for the rest of my life!!!

Heres another pic for ya...

You are screwed my friend. You now fell in love with the car that makes people broke! You could do some nice suspension mods to that sucker, and it will handle amazingly!

Ahhhh yes, another F-Body addict.

Just one fix my friend, just one fix!

Oh, nice car by the way. I'm not sure of the exact name for that interior, (neutral?...saddle?) but there's not many white with red that don't have either red or gray interior. It looks GREAT!!!

Hey, I just found what looks like the dealer ad for your car at Autoshopper online. If it is yours, you must have JUST gotten it, the ad was placed on 4/15 and is still running... By the way, nice car and good luck with it!

Yea that is my car. We bought it last saturday (4/23), and picked it up this past thursday. It seems that the dealer is really slow on taking ads off because i actually still see ads for my car like everyday in various places. It makes me laugh because its mine...and no one else can have it!! haha!!!! I'm going to try to get some more pics later in the week or on the weekend. Ill post them when i take them....

Yea we got that...We also got new parking light lenses because i dont know if it was visible in the first set of pics i posted but they had condensation in them...so we got some brand new ones and they look really sharp. Right now the only thing left to do is touch-up about 3 tiny paint chips on the hood and the car will be 100% new...

I'm getting my windows tinted this week hopefully (as long as i can find the time to bring it in w/ my busy schedule). I am wondering what you guys think would be a good percentage. I have pretty much decided i want between 15% and 35% percent...but im not sure what to go with. I fear that 15% might look too dark on my all white (and red ) car. I dont know though. Pretty much from what ive read anywhere between 15-35% should allow some nighttime vision, and block alot of sun and UV rays...so basically it comes down to what will look better with my car...a lighter tint (35), or a darker tint (15)...or somewhere in between (20, 25).

Digital Monarch, im actually getting my windows tinted Saturday so thats the next update. Probably wont end up doing a performance mod (like exhaust and open element) until the spring. What % do you have on your car? I didnt see any pics of the side windows but the hatch looks pretty light...

If i could...its the legal limit in VA...id go 25-30 prolly. Anymore then that is too much for my liking.

I think my car should give ya a pretty good example of how 35% would turn out

I think you should ditch that grill you got and go for the white Z28 grill like DigitalMonarch0's car. Other than that, sweet ride dude!

that car is very clean. I suggest getting like 15% on the hatch and like 30-35% on the side windows. I think with that, the z28 grill with foglights, and clear sidemarkers and that car would just be perfect. Maybe some exhaust tips as well, possibly polished 4th gen ones? Just some ideas. Anyways nice car man, take good care of it and keep us posted with pictures!

Couldn't get in today...so i made an appointment for next saturday. Im definately going 32% on the sides. Currently they're out of 22% tint which is what i wanted to go on the back so i may end up going 32% all around if they dont have 22% by then. Steve, what % you got out back, and do you have any pics of that???

Just took a pic today after my weekly wash + NXT quick detailer spray. I just had to add another pic because people are coming into this topic seeing like 4 month old pics of my car. This is a new one...And of course ill post some pics saturday or sunday after i get the windows tinted.

Sorry if im being a post *****...



EDIT: Sorry for the quality of the pic...i dont have the greatest digital camera to begin with, but putting the pics through car domain seems to really bring down the quality even more.
