I understand where your coming from trying to keep things subtle. I wanted to improve a lot of little things over the car in hopes to add up to a whole package in the end. In my opinion a "little" here and there adds up to a lot for an overall clean looking package.

Most of my mods are hidden... under the hood... suspension... etc.

My mods are on my web site... www.ToqueZ06.com

Some of my visual mods are below.

I completely stripped my interior and removed all of the stock yellow bulbs in everything and installed WHITE LED's. I find it gives a "clean look" to it that I like. Big project but was fun ...

See my section on LED's on my web page.




I tried to keep all my mods under the hood appear stock looking... I even painted my FAST 92 intake manifold so that it looked stock.




I may have broken my subtle rule with these... But I just like em..
