Default White Rabbit Build Thread.

I have owned this car for 5 year and bought it when i was 23. The first couple years i did a few visual mods, Painted hood liner, custom shift ****, Double din stereo, Tigershark nose and black C5Z wheels.. well one summer i missed a car show that my buddies really wanted me to go to and they thought i went with out them because there was a guy with the same exact mods as me down to the 888R tires... so i had to do more..


First set of mods... All removed and replaced now.






Then we tore it down..


TPE wide body kit Front and Rear


Also have Carbon fiber side skirts and front lip waiting for install
Old Dry Nitrous setup, Sold it to a buddy locally..
First shot of the Corbeau FX1 Pro's..






White Face Gauges with Trim rings.




New Carbon Fiber intake and Dedicated fuel system




I have an LS6 intake with a direct port job from Nitrous Outlet that i bought from a member, Its down at Gettman's Hot Rod shop right now so he can run the lines for the direct port.

2012 C6 GrandSport take off wheels and tires, Qa1 Adjustable Drag Shocks, Pfadt rear Drag sway bar, Drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads,SS brake lines






Mod RED interior with Corbeau FX1 Pros in Suede, Hardbar, MGW shifter, Avic Z2 Double din with all to goodies.







i ordered a ViS Carbon Fiber Fuzion hood that should be here next week and all the carbon fiber under hood items should finally arrive this or next week as well.

My 2nd car was a coupe version of what you had previously. And it was done in the same schemes back in 2005-2006. There were others who did the same thing long before that too.



Can't wait to see the finished project. I'm sure it'll be badass.

Thanks to everybody posting up.. its been a Huge project that i cant wait to be finished.

I got a reply from Pfadt Racing on the suspension i went with (Their older style rear bar and Qa1 Drag shocks).. i didnt know i changed as much as i did.. sounds like it will be great in a strait line for drag racing but i may have given up more then i planed on in cornering.. This isnt too big of a deal because most of the racing i will be doing will be drag this year out at Renegade Raceway.. After i get a few passes in i will post up how i like it..
