Default its been a while.. all finished up with it.

Its been forever since I visited this site and am bored at work and thought.. why not

So I recently finished up my build. wide body cheap ebay rear fenders that I had to work over quite a lot to get straight and I made some fake side vents to look like the c6 cuz... why not and glassed them in as well. couple carbon fiber ground effects, c6 GS rims, tinted the windows and yes those super amazing lights that everyone just adores

Engine mods LS6 intake, lifters, pushrods, fully built Kaytech 243 heads "race package", BTR stage 2 cam, Callowway CAI, Hooker headers with cat delete/X pipe/cans (all Hooker) stage two clutch/kit, tune, full stereo system using NVX component speakers and sub along with NVX mono and 4 way amp. oh .. also swapped out for 6c GS seats... sooo comfy.

Car has 48k original miles. I've put about 150 miles on it since the build. I have it with me today at work and it was just pure smiles all the way here this morning lol so fast and mean.

hope you all are enjoying your rides.

I like them.. i need to get matching tires for them though. the front are to wide and really pull with the contour of the road.

Cool sir! Great work. I like your side vents, they look much better than the Z06 factory vents.
