Default Detoxx Transformed (ProCharged Atomic Orange Grand Sport Conversion)

Like the title states this is a transformation. There weren’t any Atomic Orange Grand Sports made but with my car originally being a base model LS3 it only seem right that I go with those fenders plus I like the look. I didn’t however want GS badging so I had some custom made to match one I alread had on the rear of the car.

Got the complete front conversion kit from Gene at Cultrag Performance. I purchased the rear kit from him back in 2012 and like at that time he provided grade A service.

I also went with with a carbon front splitter from C7 Carbon with the bumper reinforcement and a set of their carbon side skirts. I already had a carbon ZR1 spoiler from APR Performance on the car.

Oracle LED side markers added a nice touch as well. Vette Lights cams through with the amazing customer service.

Got it a new set of wheels also to complete the look. Went with Forgestar CF10’s in a black graphite finish.

All of this wouldn’t have been completed without the amazing work from K&T Kustoms Kollision in Shelby Township, MI. They installed the kit, the carbon pieces, wheels, side markers, and blended the paint to perfection.

Ok now on to the pictures.

Before:



Parts/The Process:





After:






I’m very happy with the results. Now it has the look to go with the 933rwhp ProCharged power. I know some will question why I didn’t originally buy a GS or Z06. Well I didn’t want a GS because of the weight and gearing. Not to mention this color wasn’t available. I also didn’t want a Z06 because I wanted the targa and I had every intention on boosting the car when I bought it. I bought December 2011 and it was boosted February 2012. Stock bottom end LS3 ever since.

Hope you all enjoyed.

Beautiful man, I follow you on IG and saw the car there. You are still SBE LS3? What made you decide to widebody the front? I figured with the racing you do the smaller frontal area would help.

Thank you. Yep still sbe. I always wanted to do it just focused on power and other things. Might create a little more drag but I’m not worried about it much.

No problem man and 900+ is stout on SBE. Any worries at that power level? I understand that, power for me is first on my C6Z and looks will come later. I got you on the drag, at your power level on the street it should not be too big of a deal.

No I don’t worry about it. I just run it as is and see what happens. Allan Futral’s tune has kept it alive along with good fueling.

Absolutely stunning man! Great job. I think some black headlights would really set it off.

Hands down one of the best looking cars here! I’ve always loved your car. I too have an AO C6Z. Your car makes great power. I really like the carbon aero you added.

good job man.

by the way what are the wheel specs?
