Thanks guys! I didn't pay any extra for the color. Its called Tangier Orange and believe it or not that's what they use for the DOT trucks. All it takes is a drop and some chrome and it looks sweet. So far all I have done is a Hotchkis 2/4, centerline 20's with 275/45s, tint, and a line-x. Just so I'm looking OK going down the road. I have big plans this winter. The big stuff is at least a 6.0 if not a 408, T56 (its a 4.3, 5speed now THANKS GM!![only made 5speeds for 2 weeks and all of them 4.3s not 4.8s like I ordered]) and full exterior plastic color match, hopefully if time/money allows a few light body mods wile I got the paint gun out. But as we all know that's only scratching the surface.

Yeah, you remembered correct. Wasn't the dealers fault (who is another member on here) it was a problem or something at the plant as far as I remember it.
Thanks for the comments guys, btw, the real size pics (at least 1024x768) look awesome. His camera is phenominal for taking these pics, I have a couple of them that I'm rotating as my desktop background right now. I re-read the thread a couple times and the 800x600 pics don't really look as good as the bigger ones. Maybe I'll post up a couple bigger ones tomorrow or something, but thanks again for the comments!

Awesome pair to showcase a 2/4 drop. The orange is cool and i'd like to see some pics after the winter colormatch. I find myself in the same boat, 4.3/5 speed. I am going to wait another year and a half at least until I drop a 6.0 or a 5.3 and a T56 into mine, I can't wait though, the V6 is fine for daily driver status, but is lacking to say the least. Good luck to future progress to both of you.
