Like Jeff hanson's TECH9 is a work of art. If I had bought that, I don't think I could not drive it because its almost in my opinion TOO nice. Even your camaro in my opinion is almost too NICE. ) in a good way. (I lived in Vegas for 10 years up until the end of 2007 and the construction trucks and debris on the roads ate the crap out of my daily cars.)

If a chip or a small scrach happens I don't want to have a melt down over a 20-30K paint job either.

I give credit where credit is due... Thanks for the suggestions...

Blessings,
AMS
I agree on not making the car too nice that you worry about it all the time. I insisted on a "driver quality" paint job and not a $15-20k job like many cars have and still get driven. That was one place I didn't want to overspend and would not.

I agree... Tech 9 and Vegas' 69 both have killer paint and body work! Too nice for me.

Got some exhaust pics today from Jason. It's a mixture of Stainless Works, Magnaflow, and Spintech. He is gonna pull it up a notch higher for more clearance he said. I think this looks pretty sweet. And yes it will be loud.

Boil the fuel? No, I didn't know that happened... his exhaust was like this? We had contemplated turn-downs right after the muffler but thought this would scavenge the exhaust a little better and quiet it down a tad.... just a tad.

Is my exhaust really that close to the fuel tank?
