Default Another ZR1 ready to get the full GT pkg

Hey Guys I just got this beauty in, we are going to town on this car. This car will be outstanding, a little different then the last couple. Here is what we are doing;
HRE P40's in matte black
carbon headlights in matte finish
carbon mirrors in matte finish
all factory carbon parts will be re-finished in matte
matte engine bay cover

Full engine upgrade including pulley's, snout, cam, carbon intake in matte of course. Corsa exhaust in a matte black finish.

Full interior in black leather with Alcantara and white stitching. All carbon fibre on the inside will also be done with a matte finish

Stay tune for pictures. I've included a shot of the car and the matt finish carbon that you find in the new Ferrari GTO's.

Just curious, how long does it take your crew to do a build like this? Pure curiosity here.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

It's "matte" by the way, though it may be different in Canada.

Usually 2-3 months, sometimes longer. It all depends on the creative juices and how much they start flowing.

John, best thing to do is ignore him. Everyone else understands why you posted the pics. He's just being his usual difficult self.

As you were.
