I hate that generation F-body, and I hate the Pontiac version worse than the chevy version. So I'm speakng VERY highly when I say "unf".

Same here. Although I do think you should aim for a panel fit that's a little better than stock on that front bumper.

I remember him saying that it is a stock Audi color off an Audi TT. The color does look very good.

Yea...I should bolt it up without wiring anything back up right?

And thank you guys! It's Audi Nimbus gray off the TT. Not the exact color I wanted but it turned out looking pretty damn good.

The wheels are sexy, the paint is sexy, the motor that could be in that is sexy.... my only advice is.. less wheelgap. Pretty sure I could park my wifes' Mini in there. Other than that, she is a gorgeous machine.

That is a really nice looking car. I've wanted one for quite a while, but I can't bring myself into spending more than $50 on an F-Body.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys!

I don't know what could help the wheel gap I already have shocks and springs (Koni SA and Strano Springs). I'll be moving the battery back there in the near future so that could help a little bit but we'll see, not much else is going to change. I've already dropped enough money in suspension parts to build two challenge cars.

People love to hate these cars for some reason, but it is what it is...a muscle car :)

Check Carbon Gray Metallic from Mazda. Only offered it for one year on one particular sub-model of the Mazda3 (and I had one of the ULTRA rare ones with the saddle leather.... less than 1500 hatchbacks made, less than half of that with a manual, less than half of THAT with the saddle leather....god I miss that car.) Where was I now? Oh. Carbon Gray metallic. If you're a fan of charcoal colors like that, this is a color to look at.

I don't hate any car I haven't driven. I can't image that beast not being a whole lot of fun.

I drove the camaro SS version of that car. I can say that I hate the generation of F-body just because of the ergonomics. Not that any F-body is strong on that.
