Installed side vent screens. Could only find silver so I put 3 coats black and 2 coats clear spray on them. Before putting them in I removed the black plastic from inside the vent and painted that too. It had gotten faded over the years and looks much better now.

nice progress, what other mods are in store? if you like power on a budget, I would look at the LS7 Exhaust manifolds/downpipe/Hpipe, I picked up 20+HP with them. Vinal wrap the halo and some Z06 rear brake duckts i think look good on a Coupe
found this car, would look kinda like yours:

RedZ, thx man. I hope to have my vararam and HUD installed this coming week. I already have a Corsa catback and X pipe. I plan to get a tune with a 160* stat.
I might put some Z51 away bars and shocks on and lower it a little.

Let me know when you want the sways and maybe the shocks too (I know I got the tools for the sways, not sure about the shocks yet)
I had to sell my ls1 intake on eBay the other day in order to motivate myself to take it off and put the ls6 one on
Targa conversion is pretty much done and I'm driving the car again .. Heck if they fit in the car I'll bring my new ones over and we can swap them all

Went down and met Adrians99FRC today. We changed his rear diff fluid. He had Z06 sway bars to install on his and was generous enough to give me his Z51 sway bars. I painted the rear bar red.
He also put those painting skills to use and redid my plasti dip.
His car is awesome and his targa conversion is amazing.

330 am and still going. I'm beat. Finally got the Vararam installed. Also put in brake/fog light screens, tinted turn signals, and tightened up my exhaust. Pics tomorrow in daylight. Time to get some sleep.
