my new ride 02 Z28!

So i picked up a 2002 camaro Z28 over the summer months and its pretty awsome(loving it!) its black with t tops and black leather interior and i got it when i t had 77k miles on it and its perfect condition. the interior couldnt be better and it starts up great and runs quick. the previous owner also installed a new system and i got the specs written down some where but he installed a whole new speakers system and a new deck and all i know is it toatled to 1300$ and he also installed remote start which is practiclly god on those cold mornings when i can start my car from my window so its already nice and toasty when i get out there haha but so far all ive done is jsut trying to keep it clean! here are some pics if i can get this uploading thing down

Just use some simple green diluted in some water, maybe 50/50, and spray everything, try to stay off the aluminum like the heads and the valve covers. Let it sit for a few minutes and give it some work with a hose or pressure cleaner. That's what i did and it turned out great.

And dont worry about the wires, they're insulated for a reason

Just for quick notes
Do not get a handheld programmer, better to have the computer sent out
and if you get some springs, plan on shocks as well
This site has just about everything you can think of related to fbodys
And im first in line for spare ss spoilers :yup:

thats just me from the old days. guys putting GTO hoods on a LeMans or Tempest, SS emblems on a regular Impala or Chevelle or whatever. now though you have only z-28 or SS w/v-8s. i like to save the z-28 from death by SS.:drivin:

You should try to find an Ultra Z style hood for it. It's more functional than the SS hood.

i'd say that would make one hard to find. i saw a similar one, more rounded with two openings out front, but i'm not finding that one looking too good imo.

It is, but some places carry it. I looked for one not too long ago and found a few.
