Newbie from OKC

Hey everyone...

Jarrod pm'd me on DH and suggested that I sign up and introduce myself.

I haven't had a chance to look around that much, but I'm happy to find a site that is more s197 oriented.

I bought my '06 GT back in May of this year and decided to go with a GT 350 tribute theme (1967). The car was completely stock with the exception of the tint. As of right now I've been able to find all of the appearance mods that I needed except a Cervini's 67 hood. Here is the list of mods that I have done so far:

Wheels: 20 x 9 Chrome Shelby Razors
Tires: Toyo Proxes 4 (255/35 Front, 295/30 Rear)

Performance Mods:

SCT X3 with Brenspeed Tune
Steeda CAI with Inlet Elbow
Flowmaster American Thunder Axle-Back

Exterior Appearance Mods:

Street Scene "Eleanor" Grille with Chrome Foglight Bezels
3D Carbon Quarter Window Scoops
GT 500 Rear Spoiler
Shelby Fender Badges
Shelby GT 350 Rear Decklid Badge
Shelby "CS" Logo Rear Faux Fuel Door Emblem
GT 350 Matte Black Rocker Stripes
Shorty Antenna
Black Painted Calipers

Interior Mods:

Pioneer FH P8000BT H/U with iPod and Bluetooth Handsfree Phone
Shelby Dash Plaque
Scott Drake Satin Shift Boot Trim Bezel
Hurst Classic White Shift Ball with Custom Satin Boot Retainer

Here are a few pics:

Please tell me you meant ride and not rice...

BTW...do the photos look cut off on the right side like they do on my screen???

LOL! Yes. sorry. How funny. I fat fingered that... I truly meant "Ride" ...

The photo posting is a little tricky they need to 1024x768. sucks...

Nice to see you made it over here Lucas!! Great to have you! Very nice ride you have there....and dont mind Paul...he has trouble with spelling sometimes, but we let him hang around anyways.

Make yourself at home!

Looks like you have a very nice headunit..there are a few of us on here that are big Pioneer fans. I have the AVIC D3 as does Jerry, David has the FB and a few others are Kenwood fans.

I think you will find this group to be a great bunch of guys and gals. Looking forward to seeing your ride in person!

By the way those Razors look amazing!

Welcome to the forum, kick up your feet and stay a while. For the most part we are a pretty active and lively bunch. Once the weather gets better come out and join us for some of our events. Again welcome and hope to see you around.

Huh...I edited and resized to the 1024 x 768 but I'm still having issues. Is it easier to use the attach photos instead of hosting them with photobucket?

Thanks!

Probably the best $560 I've ever spent.

I use photobucket but I have to reduse them to 400 X 600 I think....This site is finiky with pictures sometimes. You might just have to adjust your browser settings

Fixed...I used 800 x 600. It still cut off a little on the right side but it got the job done.
Thank you!

Thanks guys for all of the welcomes.

I will probably be boring everyone with my pictures. It seems like I have to go shoot another 100 or so pics everytime I add something new to the car (I don't post that many though...I promise). I'm really hoping to get a Nikon D40 for Christmas. Right now I just have a Canon S2 IS (non-SLR).

Tungsten Gray...it changes color alot depending on the lighting. Works well for photographing. The first time I saw it was in '06 and I was like ...it totally looked like some girlie lavender gray color at dusk. Thank goodness it doesn't look like that all of the time.

Thats a nice color. I saw my Satin Silver in the day time and it almost looked white and i wanted a white one at that time. but when i got up to it it was silver. Pretty cool affect paint has sometimes.

Mine also changes different shades of orange depending on the light...and if you say YELLOW paul I am going to murder you in your sleep!

YEEEEEEELLLLLLOWWWWW!!!!!!!! (Paul made me do it)

I think SLR stands for single lens reflex. It basically means your view through the lens will be exactly what is captured on film or digitally. SLR's have removable / interchangeable lenses where point and shoot cameras do not. I'm not an expert by any means, but I think that is the gist of it.
