Default Aother GREAT girlfriend thread!!! lol

So my girlfriend knew what I was dying to have and tried to get me these before christmas, sadly that didnt work due to some problems with shipping or processing? Idk. But she got them for "parts for your car.com" (a vendor here)and they took care of the error. I just got them yesterday and was astounded by what they could look like in the Triple Black Vert!! My vette is in the body shop right now getting work re-done and and I drove there to check out any progress, and brought a mat with me!

Surprisingly these arnt something I've seen anyone post pics up before of but they look sick with black..











Sorry the last pic is crappy(forgot my phone) Will take better ones when I get it back

Its in the shop getting repainted and those Halo's I bought from BMG are getting done as well, I threw in $20 and theyre goin to black our my 3rd brake light,Front and rear markers too!

Then it'll be truly murdered out


Happy Modding

Thanks for the compliment guys, Im very big on things accenting eachother and "flowing" together...


Chris, Its actually the Rksport high rise hood, which is on of the things being painted, which I may end up selling for one of Quik Z06's cowl hoods :yup:

Flynbyu2 Its REAL Diamond Plate, Powdercoated black, then the diamonds are polished to a Brushed aluminum look

Im really shocked these arnt a big thing. they make them in all different colors.

The floormats do give the car a unique interior look.

And the rest of the car will look great when all the paint work is done.

I stop by a machine shop periodically and bs with the guys (never know when you'll need a good mill or lathe man to help you out) and the guy that powdercoats stuff was working on something that looked exactly like your mats. I kinda thought it was floor pans for a drag car since some of those guys run american muscle at the strip a lot. Now that I see those bad *** mats, I'm going back to see what he was up to.

Ok to start, These parts were bought directly from Dennis at DoubleDmods(The best/Closest vendor I've come to tlk to) This includes the Rksport high rise hood, and the 2Fperformance bumper called the C5.5

My removal process ( about and hour? lol)



then my hood..




Ended up getting the car Fully painted and Lifetime warrantied for.... $2100



Picking it up...


Now for the many Random shots lol...






This was a little Phone camera trick I did to show whats it the opening of the grille


and to show what I did...



Simple 4inch tubing ( Id like to replace everything with at least 3.5 aluminum pipping if I could find it!)

But yea, any questions about the bumper Ill be glad to answer, dont see any people on the forum with it ever
