Wheels back from powder coater...will install a 1/4" vinyl stripe where spokes and lip meet...blue as closest to Electron Blue....CCW logo cut in blue vinyl as well for center caps...or maybe even have it airbrushed on...looks really mean...Coilovers have also been adjusted (not that you can tell from the 4x4 look on the lift)...raised slightly in the front to accommodate the extra weight of the supercharger....and a little in the rear to get just the right amount of fender gap.
I actually thought of going that direction...initially even ordered them from TPS Motorsports that way...but I knew I wanted to tie in a little bit of red to offset all of the black and blue....plus red calipers just look good! In the future, I might upgrade the interior in Mod Red...which would tie it all together even better...though I might stick with black and have the accent be blue stitching.
Been a while...quick update.....performance mods have all been completed....car has been at Corvette's West in Sarasota Florida for the past three weeks....getting the new hood installed (fit fairly well out of the box), splitter installed and painted, rear spoiler installed and painted, front and rear bumper repainted....as well as front fenders to blend paint to match correctly.
I've been watching what you are doing and it has been an amazing transformation, very nice quality work with quality products. Very envious and cant wait to see finished product.
Some teaser pics that the painter sent me...not very clear but I'll be sure to take some high res pics in the next couple of weeks to show off the final results....we ended up foregoing the C-style rear spoiler....all painted and came out nicely but didn't fit very well...at least not to my standards...good on the passenger side but a good 1/4" gap on the driver side...at least on my car.
I get the car back on Monday....than I'm having it tuned (it already was and made 511 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno) on Tuesday night...as the one and only Jeremy Formato from FasterProms will be down in Ft. Myers/Naples...figured it wouldn't hurt to have him put his hands on my ride!!
He'll be at Valone Motorsports most of Tuesday in Ft Myers...Tuesday night and Wednesday morning he'll be at Action Auto Care in Naples...you'll have to call and see if they have any openings left...I'm the last appointment Tuesday night at 8 pm in Naples.
