HOUSTON mod party- pics and comments

First off I just want to thank Sammy and Scott for helping out a TON and doing basically all the work!! Things didnt necessarily go "smoothly" the whole way. But I think it turned out pretty damn well and it was a blast. Just as we thought everything was wrapped up we are pulling out of the lot and start rubbing like crazy after lowering on the 335s Sammy and Geoff stayed late and helped us get it straightened out. We had no problems whatsoever on the way home

Total mods accomplished: Lowering and Xenon bulbs. Gutted pre-cats. and a set of stingers. with a *few* setbacks in between

The pics...

Awesome, looks like it was a good time! Can really tell the difference with the Xenon bulbs.

Nice work,

JMo

Here it is the video shot at the Mod party.

Now, the video might not show that many mods or be very party like, but hey - I think it is a video of what people wanted to see anyway.

Enjoy...

First I wanna say thanks to Sammy and Scott. Just like AlexWS6 I was totally surprised at how willing people were to get into the mix with these mods. Lots of Z talk going on. I went over expecting to do all the work. I would still be there if that were the case. Hell, I barely touched a tool. Everyone that showed up is top notch. I had a blast and love the sound of the stingers. It's 3:30 am and I just got home from a long day of borla pleasure. I got a ton of compliments and then to top it all off I went out to go home from the pub and this beautiful Ferarri 360 was parked beside me. I never saw him pull up. I guess the band was so loud and the noise from 1960 was so loud I didn't notice him. I don't think anyone at the outside bar did. Anyway, I get in the Z and crank her up. It was great, there was a lul in the music and everyone at the outside bar turned to see what kind of car had started up. Perfect timing. I 'm pulling out and everyone is stareing at the Z.

Luvin it...
