Please please please please PLEASE frame your shots so the car fits in the whole picture.

You don't need to take a photo class and buy a DSLR and go crazy, but just put the car in the picture in such a way that the whole car fits.

Thank you.

Hey, I apologized up front for that, and at least I got my whole car in the pictures...now if I was saying that he needs a better camera I would deserve whatever you throw at me!

first, thanks for your service.

sounds like you have a good plan with the removal of emblems, etc.

looking forward to you posting when you start getting into the frc.

it is a pretty color. ;-)

be careful over seas and come back all in one piece.

Looks nice, I love the red lettering on the front plate. Ever consider getting a red interior? silver w/red interior always looks amazing. And yes, those badges need to go

yeah i was thinking of going with a read interior but i was also thinking of going silver and black with like black out kit in the lights and other accents and i've already replaced the interior buttons on the doors and around the cluster with blue leds so every thing glows blue i've always liked blue and black on interiors but i'm still tossing the ideas around lol

Damn sweet-looking frc. I had a buddy that had a pewter frc and those are so unique and classy-looking. Yours looks like it was well-cared-for. Nice choice there! Enjoy!

Thanks for your service - we pray for your safe return.

I disagree - if you like the z06 stuff, then leave it on. It's your ride, so you can do what you want Looks nice as-is!

Gorgeous Car! looks really clean.... I love the Pewter ones the best (i'm in the minority from people I've asked)

Just curious, what did ya give for it if you don't mind telling? I'm going to look at a '99 Coupe Monday with similar miles on it

NICE! Sounds like a good deal for such a clean car..... The one I'm going to look at is pretty much the same.. $14.5k for a 90k 99 coupe that looks as clean as yours... This one is silver and has both tops with it...
