Can I ask how much you paid for the seats when you got them?

Thank you and it looks like i need to raise the front about 1/2 as I noticed a little tire rub on the passenger side fender lip.

I picked up the seats from a member on Camaro5 forum for $2200.00 plus shipping. The Passenger seat was never sat in and the Drivers seat had 10,000 miles on it but the dealer installed new foam and covers the week before it shipped. So I got a smoking deal.

That thing is way cool. Good choice in updating yours.

Looking good man. Thanks for all the help with my Camaro.

We racing late models? Your Camaro against my Corvette? :stirthepot:

It needed it badly. I never really like the stripes on the hood and dislike stripes on the trunk of 5th gens. So it had to be done and like I said in a previous post I really wanted to buy a new Z28 but just couldn't justify a car that I would rarely drive. So I spent a few dollars on this one and it's much easier to only have to wash two cars vs three cars.

I am pretty confident that your Corvette may kick my Camaro's butt. Plus I really need to work on my driving skills before I take it out on the track. I am bumbed that I missed the instructional track day last week at Road America with the Lotus club. I have a Theory and I firmly believe behind ever good driver was a great instructor and my plan is to pick up a 3rd gen just for learning how to effectively and safely drive on a track.

Looking good Marty. I see the plans you talked about at SEMA are coming along nicely.

Thank you and it was good seeing you at Sema.

As for the Camaro I am finally happy with the way it looks. I still have a few more things to do to the car but I have the summer to do it.

Plus I am back to working on the Mountain bikes and buying yet another new wheel size for my fat bike. 27.5+. The bike industry really has to stop to coming up with new stuff for fat bikes.

Is it the bike companies or our interest in too many hobbies?

I think it's a little of both.
