Default This Weeks Mods!! Nx,wheels,shifter. Pics!!

So I got everything done this week. Man i'm tired!
I went out on the backroads and hit the juice and I can't believe how darn fast it is. It hits really really hard and spins the new tires all the way to around 70mph I wont be winning any races that way. I rolled into it in 2nd and it was much better.
Now I can truly live up to my screen name! Muwahaha
Here is the list and pics...

NX wet kit 125 shot for now (until the clutch comes in) then the 150!
Custom painted bottle
Billet Aluminum Bracket
Bottle gauge
MSD rpm window switch
NX Purge kit vented through front bumper screens
NX switch console
NOS microswitch under gas pedal
C6 shifter (thanks dshaner)
Chrome Z06 wheels

I like these wheels alot for the money.


You must try one of these shifters. It is great!


Don't mind the seat cover. It's for my Avatar
I like the bottle here because you can reach it in a hurry, and you can see the gauge very well.



Still got plenty of trunk space and you can get to the bracket mounting bolts by removing the right rear wheel


I LOVE VETTE'S !!!!

I have two friends with GTS Vipers and they alway give me a hard time because they can beat my vette (by two car lengths)
I regularly whip up on them with the stang and the SS, but the vette gets beat. Well boys not anymore!! After the run this morning I have very little worry about those pesky viper boys now!

Nice mods, VP. And, I just love the pics of your interior, and, the magic bomb (stealth weaponry) you have custom painted. Very sharp. Thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes,
Eden
