Mine is identical to the way it rolled off the assembly line with the exception of the CLB module and CAGS. But those are difficult to see. Oh and the Michelin ZP tires.

Just wheels, painted brake calipers, polished exhaust tips, lowered, and I'm working on doing more stuff to it in the future.

Would like in the future:
1-Flared quarter pannels
2-335 meat in the back
3-A much lower stance
4-z51 suspension
5-drilled rottors
6-Can't think of everything at the time.

The closest I have to the way I got it. It had stock ZO6 wheels, not the Motorsports shown.


Here it is after the conversion. Targa top and no side bump strips.


Here are the flames.


The factory radio.


And the Alpine radio with Bluetooth and ipod.


There's actually more, but that's the stuff that shows.

I've found that mods take away the value of your car so I haven't done any or plan to do any.
