It is all done...
I thought about taking somewhere to get done but then I didn't get an email back after an initial reply back so I said screw it and did it myself since I had a 3 day weekend.
Here is some of the stuff, that I finally got around to do:
Finally got around to putting the valve covers on the new engine, maybe this winter I'll finish off the engine compartment with matching colors.
Finally got the MGW shift **** put in-it has a nice feel during shifting:
Finished the brake kit swap and installed the new wheels. 360Forged and a C6Z06 Brake kit with Carbotech pads and new brake lines from DRM:

Looks great. Love the blue. Post some pictures of the full side view if you get a chance. Love to see how it all comes together. What's the body kit you have?

I think so, talk to Gerry from Wheel$forLe$$ http://forums.corvetteforum.com/memb...el-forle-.html. He is a forum vendor, got me a nice deal (well as nice I guess as it can be). The wheels are custom cut when you place your order- 6-8 weeks turn around. I wish I could have gotten more concave in the rear but it was not to be without flares.

The kit is an early generation GTR from Specter Werks, the original owner had a portion of it installed with custom width doors so the car gets wider and ends with a tub kit in the rear. The rear tires are a 345. I have added the pictures, finally had a chance to clean up and bed the pads.
