Fun at Skyline!

Hey guys...havent shown some pics of my ride in awhile...this weekend me and the girl went up to skyline drive, had lots of fun.

Made her take a few pics lol...she did an alright job just wish she got a whole view of the car.

The roads up there are soo much fun...there where no cops just curves and straights everywhere. Had a blast! Really put my car to the test in some turns.

Shes coming along well still workin on the interior, carpet and door panels are on the way.

If anyone can host some pics that be great! got lots but heres 3 of them sence thats the limit.

Lots of smoke

Those pics are sweet
Do you have any of those burn out pics with the entire car in them? Or are they just cropped that way?
One complaint: Not a fan of trees sticking out of cars in pics.

Cool man. Nice taillights.

The only thing I can think of to make it look better without bleeding into my personal style would be to lower it. Otherwise it looks great, and nice pics!

hey guys thanks for the comments.

srdynamics1: These are the only burnout pics i have...none with the whole car

83Firebird420: ill try and pm you some higher res pics

Steven89Iroc: i prolly will sometime this year...i dunno how much lower i want it...and like stock springs sag i dunno how much it would get lowered. There are some like $100 springs on ebay not sure if id trust them or not

DanTheMan_smlk: thats just the way its always been sence the 1967 z28 first rolled out. I think it looks better without them on the roof but i always get asked that same question.

Beautiful ride. I love the white/red combo. I think it looks good the way it is, but lowering it wouldn't hurt.

Ever since I painted my Camaro with the stripes about a month ago everyone keeps saying "You should have put them on the roof" Your car looks great, especially with those tires smokin

Tradition aside, I feel stripes look better just on the hood and back of the car. If they're on the roof and going down the front and rear bumper like a few Camaros I've seen it's just a bit too much.

I've seen quite a few thirdgens with the stripes on the roof.. not very appealing..

and I think the red stripes are sooo much better looking than black, but thats me
