Mods:
-Series III block and bottom end, aluminum oil pan, and heads(long story, but I blew my 63k mile stock series II motor back in March, and GM replaced it for free under my warranty :banana: )
-K&N fipk2 intake
-zzp 180*
-zzp pem's
-slp tips
-flipped upper mounts
-gmpp stb
-r1 concepts brakes
-and a few other odds and ends that I'm probably forgetting appearance wise.

But yeah, that's my car in all her glory. Only has 65k miles on it, and I bought it march of last year with 50k on it. It's been a rough 15k miles!!! :helpsmilie: but that's ok...I can't see myself behind the wheel of another car at this point in time(except for maybe a sapphire 98-99 SSEi :beerchug:

Awesome pictures! They're really clear. I can see the HUD on the windshield. I think your car is a little too clean! :) Everything is so shiny.

Whoa, L-26 bottom end and heads for free! You got a great basis for mods there.

Very nice shine, and I love the de-badged look!

I know right! I was pretty excited. The warranty still has another 8 months left...after that(next summer) it's turbo time

Thanks guys, the car's really not in THAT great of shape, it's straight but it definitely was not taken care of by the first owner. The car was bought and driven in downtown Chicago all it's life til I bought it. However, it's getting buffed Friday so I'm excited!!!
