Default Evolution of a C5- Show us yours





I hated the black wheels when I first saw then, now I am part of the dark side.

My car evolved from stock to well over 500hp, unfortunately my photo journalistic skills remained in the stone age

I'm similar here. I could probably put a little bit of the evolution together with photos but rounding them up and putting them in order would be a task for me since the photos are spread out everywhere.

Toque:

Been an admirer of your car (and you) since I joined CF.

I love what you have done with it, how well you have documented your mods, how thoughtful your changes have been.

Tip of the hat to you, Bro!

Well done!

Day 1: Bone stock


Day 2: NXT Catback, Smoked Lights, Ziptie mod, and lowering via stock bolts.



Day 365: C6Z rims!


Day 370: black painted c5z rims and sold c6z rims for profit


Day 540: Repainted the Vette Lamborghini Balloon White pearl and ground effects from Corvette Creationz



Day 660: Took the Car to Underpressure Power and Performance (UPP a forum vendor) to get some BOOOST!


Day 700: Got the corvette creationz c style wing mounted


Day 829: CCW rims and GS style fender hashmarks


As she sits today: Sold the ccw rims and put the stockers on...next plan is "project up the booost!"

congrats blackmachinedown! Think you have bought the most sets of wheels so far Car looks real nice in pearl (although the black was nice too)! Be nice to have a peak under the hood after showing the front end off..tease
