Sweet ride. I like the paint and the matching runners. How'd you make that cold air intake you got there? Looks good.

First, let me say thanks for having the superfest link on your page. I needed to know the points that my car received and how to get the judges' sheets.

That out of the way, I was very impressed with your car at superfest...the wheels alone made it stand out. Did you take any awards for your car? I was hoping they would have had a page for awards since the two clubs I belong to took home easily 20some awards. I'm already looking forward to next year's show and have told the motel I was at to save the same room for me.

Are those wheels chrome, or just polished like a mug?

well let me start of by thanking all of you for your kind words.........it's been a long a trying road and i am still very far from finishing my car and it makes me feel good to see that there are other people who enjoy seeing what i have done so far.

Mr. IROC-Z, yeah i know the intake is rather large, but it keeps the same diameter as the plenum which greatly improved my air intake and throttle response, any smaller and it didn't work as well or seem quite right.

My1stCamaro92RS, yeah i remember talking to you i think; thanks for the kind words and i love the pics you took. you wouldn't happen to have any more would you?

and again to everyone else thank you, the intake was made out of 4 1/2 exhaust tubing that was mandrel bent and coated; and yes My1stCamaro92RS was right about the rims.

come'on it's alright; that's why i asked to get opinions. as long as it makes sense and no one is trying to be a jerk about something it's ok to tell me what you don't like.

as far as the nos sticker, that is the same sticker that comes on all nos bottles.

Nah, bud, not trying to be a jerk about your car, I'm just not personally fond of red and the all chrome wheels just aren't my thing (I like the machined look & the black on the outer part of the caps to give a little contrast on the wheels). But, I didn't want to make it seem like I was knocking your car(thus keep the comments to myself) because I can certainly appreciate the tons of time/money/work you've put into it which definatly makes it a sharp ride regardless of what I think. To each their own & like I said, you have made a sweet ride for yourself and you've done a great job on it.

ok.... well all the same it's alright, i was asking for opinions good and bad. i know not everyone will like what i've done, so that's why i was asking for what people liked and disliked. so thanks for all the comments.

as far as the blisters.....they are stock on a 91-92 Z28 wether it's a vert or coupe.

I had ruffly under 100 with the pipe costs and coating........ much cheaper than the SLP units and i thought it gave it a more custom look as well as it works really well.

That is one nice car! I really like that new intake... the bigger the better! Just curious; is that strictly a show car or is it your daily driver?
