okay, so I now understand we must be segregated by car color. Anything else I need to know? Do we have to park by our age group as well?

What kind of camaro(s) did you have? Before I went to the corvette meets I went to a lot of GTO club meets. so don't hold that against me either lol.

I just recently sold my 2010 SS. It was a cool car that I threw way to much money at, but it was time to move on. Here are a couple of pictures of it (yes it is the same car).

Wow!! That looks amazing!! Was it wrapped or plast dipped? You should post some pics of the vette so we can see what it looks like.

This was my 04 GTO. Only pic i have of it on my phone.

I've never had a GTO, but cant go wrong with LSX in a little car

The camaro was dipped (did it myself, actually looked really good).

The corvette is plain Jane right now. I bought it 3 months ago, moved to DFW 2 months ago so finding time right now has been hard. I'm in the process of installing nitrous but otherwise stock. I need to lower it badly.

Looks really good. Looks like you have the same Corbeau A4's as I do lol. Yea the plasti dip stuff is cool. I did my 78 Malibu with the DYC kit. Like you said when done right they can look real good. And welcome to DFW.

I believe I know who you are talking about. Name is slipping my mind. You like them? To me they are so much better than the stock seats.

That's very true. and the ones you do see are rust buckets or "donked out" I have owned 3 gbodys, a 81 Grand Prix, 84 Regal and the 78 bu. I love them when they are done right. I was going to make a pro touring gbody Malibu, just don't see those some that way and I have always like the way they have looked. Me and C7BB love the 87 GNX. we get hell for it all the time, our wifes hate that car lol. Will hope to see you tomorrow night.

They are definitely better seats. I wish I would have got leather but overall they are nice. I'm a big guy and just barely fit in them, but they are easier to get in and out of the car I think. The stock z06 seats I always ended up hitting the bolster when I could not open the door very wide.

What material did you get? I got the suede with leather on the side of the bolsters. I'm also a big guy. 5'10 245lbs and barley fit lol.

same I believe. Might be cloth I'm really not sure. They do have the leather bolsters. I've got a good 25lbs on you so yea.... barely fit paints a clear picture, lol. But I like the snug feeling. Makes it feel like a sports car.

Was good to meet some of you today, I appreciate the hospitality.

Here are a couple of little vids of my old Camaro. Hopefully I can get the Corvette to be somewhere in the same class with a little time (and a whole lot of money)

It was nice to meet you too. Glad you made it out. I like your car, I'm sure you'll have it the way you want it in time. It's only money right? Ha! Looking forward to seeing you next time.
