My New ZO6!
well sold my 99 STS Turbo Camaro SS for this baby....i have loved vettes from like 8years old and i finially got to get one....and thanks to the military at a really young age 
Here she is 100% stock 03 Electron Blue ZO6! w/ 29k miles
For a while i will keep it fairly stock...first thing i NEED to do is get this horriable shifter out...i am a big fan of supporting the sponsers so who on here has a good aftermarket shifter (dont think i want to do the c6 one) for a good price and is willing to not rape me with shipping to hawaii
I am gonna take the car up to the Beaches at North Shore for some pics here soon to get some better ones than just sitting in the garage.

Looks great! 
You need to get one of those little tabs for your emission sticker! I don't know why HI has to put stickers on the bumper. Just do what other states do and make it a requirement for registration.

Awesome car dude (love the color)!
1) I have had both the HURST and the C6Z shifter in my car, and I think many will agree that the C6Z is a great everyday shifter (the HURST is almost too short for daily driving). I still go back and forth but like the C6Z more (the HURST looks awesome though).
2) Many (including me) have a 160 degree stat and turned the fan down to 190 with great results. Go for it.
Great car again man!!!!
C6Z shifter and ****...
HURST shifter and ****...

That sticker is not for emissions, it is a "safety check". They make sure your vehicle has decent tires and all the lights/signals work and if you have aftermarket tint they make sure it complies with the law.
