Default Some recent photographs

First time sending pictures, thoughts? Some recent shots of my second lady. She was bone stock in July of 2009. Now with the STS Turbo installed, and a load of other performace upgrades, she is a real sleeper. Mechanical work by Joe Ferraro, St. Pete Auto Aids, (Highly Recommend) DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB WITH BOTH OF MY STS TURBO INSTALLATIONS) as well as many other mods. Joe thanks for all the excellent guidance and help; Dennis, at Double D Mods, great to work with, outstanding communication and follow-up; CCW 16a wheels, John thanks for going beyond, and making me whole on my incorrect order, SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND; Michael and JW @ JWMotoring, the Suns Guns have made a huge difference. To all of the other forum members who supplied advice and parts, thanks all, love the forum and learn something new every day.

What exhaust do you have? The tips look like Borla Stingers.

Car looks Awesome Doug.
Then pleasure has been all mine. Its been great talking with you going over all the details for both projects we have been working on and to get to know you as a friend too. Still the best part of me doing what I do everyday is making new friends along the way and hopefully some day get to me you and everyone else.

Looking forward to seeing the next round of pics and thanks again for your business.


Dennis

When I purchased the STS kit the tips were wasted from the previous owner who had a lowering and driving problem. Replaced them with some after market, from the turbos back are basically stock. Will try and add a picture. If you want the name I will be more than happy to supply.

Dennis, you are one of the truly good guys on the forum. While it's my management style, I trusted you from day one and your product and quality have always left me with a smile. If you had burnt me once I would be one of your worst enemies instead you can count on me to sing praises. (what goes around comes around) Your work, quality, pricing and honest communication are tops #1. It has been and will continue to be a pleasure to do business with you.
The other project, the sinister one, is almost done. At my age I only pray that I can look him, (God) in eye and keep the petal to the metal on the track.

Thanks for your comments and guidance!
