I am picking up my beast from the shop in Michigan on the 11th. Car went in there for fully forged motor, tricked out 8 rib setup, full return A&A fuel system that is boost referenced and 3.42 gears along with bunch of other misc. stuff. My new setup made 19.8psi of boost and enough power that should automatically be illegal

While the car was in shop going thru this major overhaul I was bored here in snowy South Dakota and decided to go for one final mod. Yeah, this one is final

Most of you know I went back to stock pop up headlights after owning the original Specter Werks C5R with 6k HIDs for about 5 years. I was just bored with the look.

Here is what she looked like before.....



and here is back to the stock look........



After being spoiled with the HIDs in projector housings for 5 years, and driving an Escalade and a Benz (both stolen) as daily drivers, I just could not live with the OEM candle lights I think GM should have came up with the feature that as soon as it got dark and lights popped up, the car should have gone in Reduced Power mode and top speed restricted to 50 MPH

Simply putting HIDs in stock housing and blinding oncoming traffic is just not my style and way too cheesy IMHO.

So after months of searching... I finally got my hands on these!





I will be installing them sometime the first week of December as there is nothing else left to do to the car

So, yeah...... this one is final mod I guess


DISCLAIMER: To all those who are just getting into mod scene, learn from people who have modded their mods as it is very addicting stuff. A time will eventually come that you will start going back to the mods that you have installed on your car and will redo/remod them. Quick remedy that works in theory is to quit browsing the forums and watch TV

To all those who know me well, know my humor Feel blessed, drive your cars and enjoy what you have

 

I like the breather you put on the oil filler. Did you do it for added looks or change something that you had to do it? Do you have the part number of the breather? How is it installed?

 

I know where's there an old black FRV with those same lights Nouman They do work well

Enjoy that new power

congrats on the lights, you'll love them.

 

Those headlights are great. I just don't drive enough in the dark to warrant them..

I think I've got one final mod left also. Oh, wait a minute. I've got a Dewitt's sitting in the garage now so maybe 2 more mods. Then there's the PFADT trans brace on top of the tool box to install. Oh, and I might add ........................................ ................

 

Cheesy stock headlights

I can't wait to see the new ACA's installed...You soooo know I am waiting for it And of course can't wait to hear about the new beast I think we should watch for some new seat covers because I am SURE you will have some more brown spots that will need to be cleaned She was scary before I can only imagine how scary she will be now but of course--anyone that rides is in GREAT hands

And "last mod"??? Ok--we'll go with that cause it sounds good but I soooooo know better

It won't be long now..I'll be praying for a safe trip next week

And BTW---your snow is all over the news...Man you got buried Hope the night went well with how bad things were there Be safe out there

 

where are these available?


one last mod....... is just like "I'll have just one more potato chip"

 

Looking good Nouman!!!! Where did you find those lights, those are the ones I want to put in my car.

 

Looking gooo main.

 

Those will look good Now that you are finished modding you will have some free time on your hands so will you steal a Benz for me?

 

Very nice, I need a set of those lights for mine. If you don't mind me asking where can they be purchased?

 

Looking good Nouman! I ordered those exact lights last week

I will let you knwo how the diff turns out as soon as I get it installed. The weather here is starting to turn so I can put the car away soon.

The car is going to be a beast and I like the new headlights you will install. But I don't believe for a minute that this is the last mod.

 

Woah..back up the train here Did you order these in black or chrome? I thought they were only availabe in chrome at the moment Inquiring minds would like to know

 

As far as I know Corvette Garage is the only place that has them in stock but in Chrome

Going back into snow

 

Nice sir, very nice.. I am parshal to the demodded look, but you shouldn't have ditched the plate!

 

New plates (slightly more appropriate) are in the works

 

you Mod, un mod and remod more than is healthy (not that I'm complaining, I made out in the deal)

The 'Sclade and Benze got stolen? When? How did I miss that?
