Default C5 with mini-tub,CCWs....and a twist photo shoot!

Well after having my car tubed out with the help of my friend and having the CCWs painted this is what turned out. Note, this is not your common black CCWs like you must be used to seeing.

Great job, and awesome ride!
I don't recall seeing that headlight mod before.
They don't look like the frog-eyes!
Can you post details of headlights?
Give us some some pics that aren't fuzzy, too.

DAYUM!

That looks real sweet!

A lot of work for those tubs! What is the final size of the rears?

Thanks,Matt

Nice job! Mini-tub and 13" wide CCWs are my next mod after I finish recovering from the recent 402 install. Probably some time next year. For now, I'm getting by with 18X11" wheels with 305/35/18 Nitto DRs. I'd like to go to a 345 wide non-DR.
