Default Hey Look At Me!!!

Hey guys, I never did a formal introduction so I figured why not now . I've been posting for the past couple months, been a "member" since '07, and been lurking even longer so I feel like I already know most of you. I was going through my private messages earlier and found I had sent about 5-6 messages back in '09 to you guys asking questions about mods I LOVED, even though I bought my car in 2012 . I actually bought it off of here and traveled 900 miles to pick it up. Its a 2002 Z06 with 16k miles on it now, 9k when I purchased it. It goes without saying, it is the best car I've ever owned and possibly ever will. It was mostly stock when I bought it and I told myself that I wouldn't mod it right away... that lasted 2 months. Unfortunately I can't stop either . Here it is today, let me know what you think!




















I look forward to posting more and more on this great forum!

Russ

Car looks great and yes, the mod bug does tend to get to most of us.

Great pics. You have a very sharp Z there. Mean and stealthy. Love the side pic also. The wheels really set the car off. Keep the pics coming.
