Maybe you should change the sun at your place from blue to a more natural color  Nice pics, though ...

I ran it in the 8th but I am to embarrassed to post it. This was with the computer still being hosed and a huge exhaust leak. I was like screw it and ran it. The car is in the shop right now as we speak getting tweaked and when I get it back I have to send the computer back to Ed Wright so he can fix the $hit! Anyway, I will post some respectable #'s when they come. =) Later, Mike

Nice ride...... hey where do you live? Those look like NC plates and that's where I'm heading in July. If so I have some questions for you.

Nice looking car!! I thought you told me you had a red SS? Guess I just thought wrong. Either way it looks good. Hope you get the engine/computer straight soon. Post some times when you do!!

Jr,
Hey man I am in SC. If you have any questions please ask. I had to ship my car from Germany also so I know all the BS involved. Also, you will be close to one of the best f-body mechanics around! Take it easy.
Krazy,
Nah man I wish it was red sometimes. The teal is kind of girly to me but it is growing on me. It looks meaner everyday and it louder than all outside so it's cool for now.
Jagsy,
Here is the info on the brakes. I think they work great, and the only brakes that look better than these are probably Roy's! But I wanted chrome calipers. John Silas has the same ones if you want to see them up close.
Here is a quick rundown on the Baer systems for 93-97 F-body.
Front kits:
Enhance - no calipers, 10.80" x 1.35" rotors - $255
Serious Street - PBR 2 piston calipers, 12.00" x 0.81" rotors, and all hardware - $675
Sport - PBR 2 piston calipers, 12.00" x 1.10" rotors, and all hardware - $685
Track - PBR 2 piston calipers, 13.00" x 1.10" rotors, and all hardware - $695
GT+ - PBR-PD 2 piston calipers, 13.15" x 1.25" rotors, and all hardware - $1165
Pro - Alcon 4 piston calipers, 13.00" x 1.10" rotors, and all hardware - $2435
Pro+ - Alcon 4 piston calipers, 13.50" x 1.25" rotors, and all hardware - $2875
Extreme+ - Alcon 6 piston calipers, 13.50" x 1.25" rotors, and all hardware - $3745
Rear kits:
Enhance - no calipers, 11.54" x 0.81" rotors - $245
Drag lite - no calipers, 11.35" x 0.81" 2 pc rotors - $695
Touring+ - no calipers, 13.25" x 0.81" 2 pc rotors - $795
A few options:
Slot, drill, and zinc wash 1 pair rotors - $120
Polish PBR calipers - $145
Color coat PBR calipers - $175
Please call or email for any more questions regarding any of these systems.

First off, you have to have a catalytic converter on your car before they will ship it, I did not at the time so I put a gutted one on there just for them!=) Next problem I had was my "SS" hood. They kept telling me there was supposed to be some code on it??? I was like this is an aftermarket hood from SLP, came with the car, I showed them the manual and they still did not understand. It was just a big mess, they finally let it slide. Finally, make sure your car is squeaky clean on the inside, they had me tearing out my back seats and cleaning that $hit out with my hands. Anyway, just be prepared and make all the phone calls you need to make sure everything is straight. Take care, Mike
