Default new look... the transformation continues

okay these are some crappy low light cell phone pic's, but its okay because we are going to have very beautiful weather at least into the middle of next week, and i can take more pic's of my car and post them












car is still not 100% done i have a few other mods that still need to added, just wanted to share a few pic's with CORVETTE FORUM

THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE


new paint and painted on stripes

L5 rear quarters

QUIKZ06 carbon fiber rear spoiler & side skirts

smoked all the rear lights


THINGS THAT STILL NEED TO BE DONE


front needs to be lowered

carbon fiber front lip needs to be installed

need to paint brake calipers

I THINK IT LOOKS OKAY FOR NOW...

Looking good! Fix the stance and maybe even add some CF side mirrors to your mod list to match up with the CF rear spoiler, side skirts and planned front spoiler.

Nice work, car looks awesome so far.

I agree about the painted calipers too. What color are you painting them? Blue like the GS stripes? Just curious.

Good Luck with the rest, can't wait to see more pics.

Car looks great. I really like the blue highlights to the wheels and the blue stripe down the center of the car.

Are you using coil overs or C6 bolts? The back is pretty damn low but sits nice.
