Default My C7 thread.

My original order was a 3LT Black z51/red int/7speed/blk wheels/red brakes/NPP/mag ride. Looooooooooong story short mine was supposed to be an early build and so far it still has not been built. So I had the opportunity to buy this non z51 Black 2LT/Kalahari/7speed/NPP/red brake car and I jumped on it! I got the car Thursday morning, lowered it, tinted the windows, then Thursday night I blacked out the front chrome grill. Then on Friday my good friend and tuner Jeremy Formato street tuned the car with a wide band. WOW this car really woke up and runs strong! Going on the dyno this week, and more mods shorty.... Here are some pics!













I also ordered OEM Blk z51 wheels for it.




EDIT: 11/4/13. A couple of new pics:





I got my z51 wheels on, and also put it on the dyno. Made 430whp/426wtq TUNE ONLY. This was a couple of weeks ago when it was still 95 outside here in FL.

Man, that is the darkest window tint I've ever seen! Looks great but I find it hard to believe it's legal!

Looks great! My favorite part of the interior of these cars is the "oh ****" passenger handle on the console.

That looks killer just the way it is. I have black wheels on both of my cars including the C7Z51 and yours will look great with black also but those work really well just like that.

Yes in my garage, taped it off and wrapped the entire car in platic. Then painted the chrome strip with Plasti-Dip.

I think Florida allows for medical exemptions on tint.. I know MS does, and with it you can do a limo tint if you wish.
