Since we are talking color this month I believe this is the, or at least one of the rarest colors on thirdgens. It is Dark Green Grey Metallic and had less than 2500 cars produced in it. In addition to being a one year only color, it was also not an option on the Z28, it was RS only, though you could get the B4C package in it.

-iForged Aero 3 piece wheels
-C5HD Brakes (dual piston calipers and drilled/slotted 13" rotors)
-Rear disc conversion with Thorsen posi and 3.23 gears
-LO3 with open element and ultimate TBI mods (going LS soon!)
-4th gen leather, and hand made (by me) aluminum dash kit
-Full performance suspension; Eibach Sportline Springs, KYB AGX Shocks, Hotchkis weld in SFCs, trailing arms, and adjustable panhard bar, BMR adjustable torque arm, wonder bar, Energy Suspensions poly bushings, poly engine and trans mounts, sway bar end links
-Custom Billet Z28 Emblems by FSTFBDY and custom Billet Grill and Hood inserts by me

We do have a pretty big group of guys from TGO that do The Fbody Gathering show in Atlanta on Memorial Day Weekend, and of course always looking for more to join us. We set up a TGO cruise to dinner for all of the cars and have a tent/hang out in the parking lot. There are a few hundred cars at the show in total, probably 15 or so TGO guys with 30 or so thirdgens at the last one. Here is a vid of us leaving for the cruise last year, mine leaves first and there are several other members cars in there as well.



Buggydisasters Pic from G17, this year will be the 19th year of the show.

Thanks, they are iForged Aero's. These are acutally spaced for a fourth gen (I got them from someone getting a wider rear on their 4th gen), but they are 3 piece so you can get pretty much any spacing. I might change out the rings to 3rd gen spacing at some point and go with a comically large lip.
