Congrats, it's a very nice Z!

I've ordered quite a few OEM GM/AC DELCO/DENSO parts from RockAuto over the years. Awesome prices often better than GMpartsDirect.

Congrats and if anyone needs new Delco plug wires, they are on sale. I bought sets for my Camaro and Tahoe and got an email today that prices are slashed (should I need a replacement a year later)

Nice plug for us Erik, car looks great.
I get all my moog suspension and steering parts from rock auto, for all my cars. They just destroy everyone else on pricing. Never had a problem with returns, shipping pretty quick fir cross country.

Dude, what color is your car? Might just be my computer, but it almost looks a beautiful deep plum color. or maybe black or gray. Either way, beautiful car. Nice job!

Re: More third gen love....RockAuto.com newsletter

The car is factory correct purple haze (or orchid as its sometimes listed). Previous owner has repainted the car but left tons of orange peel. I spent a whole summer carefully wetsanding the car to bring out the depths and now the car has some serious shine. I went through a lot of sandpaper, about 4 bottles of buffing compound, and a few buffs but its hard not to smile when its all cleaned up.

BTW, i bought the car AFTER i got the house with the purple garage door..... just meant to be I guess....
