I wonder why the Z06 crowd gets upset when they see a coupe with a Z51 badge on it and call them posers, yet this is the second post I have seen today where a member has done the full conversion and has the Grand Sport badges on. I really don't care, what any member puts on their car, but I was just wondering what the rest of you think.
I almost forgot, great looking job and I love the JSB.

Looks great, Nice job on the paint and emblem.To the Z06 badging question, I don't really see a difference between a GS and a reg couple other than the widebody and bigger brakes. There is no performance enhancements like a Z06 or ZR1.
Also, you can't put the fenders on Minus the badges, you can with Z06 and ZR1 fenders.
Yeah, you can fill them and sand and paint I guess.
But why?
Anyway, great job on the GS widebody

Same engine, same frame, same interior,same body panels, OP probably upgraded to the Z06 brakes (not GS brakes because there are no such thing), same wheel sizes......that pretty much makes it a Grand Sport.
