She does have them. It's actually an acrylic enamel. Those white inlays sucked and started peeling off. Just haven't updated the pic yet.

Lol yup. Haven't met him, we've been talking about getting a small mini-meet together sometime though. He's a cool guy, definitely a good admin at Camaroforums. I did an Illustrator renderring for him because he gave me some free/discounted shirts.

Yes that's me. I'm actually not sure if I have close-ups of them, I'd have to look. It's a half sleeve, but it's not quite done yet. Sofie likes to use up all my money.

Welcome to the club!

Do you race the car at all, or just enjoy having a little more power under your right foot than the stock 3.8 provided?

No racing yet. I wanted to hit the track this year for a test and tune, but my engine decided it was going to get worse and I had to park her and rebuild before it was destroyed and unusable. I was hoping after the build I could try for the track, but too many things still needed fixed. Now I have a lifter problem (they were all brand new with the rebuild) so I apparently got a defective lifter or something. Before hitting the track next year I'm hoping to get her rear done (3.90 gears) and a badly-needed tune. I'm more curious as to what kind of quarter she'll run. Racing will be saved for the turbo build.

Welcome. Did you have any port work done to the heads and intakes? If you have any questions about anything 3.8 related I built my 98 up and it was pushing around 450fwhp on N20.. I had about 5 grand in the motor alone. Also saw you were getting a PCM for less tune. I could not get there PCM to work on my 98. The car ran like crap with it in. They sent out another PCM and I had the same issue. This was of course 6 yrs ago so maybe they have worked out there tuning issues with the 3.8's..
