You know, someobody asked me how many different sets of wheels have I had and it got me to thinking ultimately digging up some old pics. Its amazing the difference little things here and there make. These are a few pics of my cars EXTERIOR changes. You will notice as the car got better so did my camera.

Got pics of your transformation? Let's see them.

Very nice depiction of the progress of your car. I like several of the looks but I'd have to say I like the current one best. The GS stripe and wheels flow very nicely!

Cool post.

I haven't had my car long, my time line would be just a trail of used parts.

You know. I just upgrade parts and sell my old parts to help offset the costs. I would say that I got 90% of all my parts from this forum. Either vendors or private sellers.

Honestly I really like your current setup the best.

As for my current car, I have ran a set of chrome C5 Z06 wheels and a set of MRR GT5 wheels and now have the chrome C5 Z06 wheels back on the car. My next set will hopefully be a set of CCWs.

Very neat idea for a thread. I too like the current look for your car.

And As my car got better so did my camera.

This is my transformation (ish) since I picked her up on May 14, 2012 to present: I'd say it's come quite a ways in under a year and a half.



Caught up in a few fads.... PD and Stripes















As she sits today!

The blue and the grey really compliments each other. Very nice job on the interior also.

I see that your camera got better over time or your skills improved too.
