Default Made A Few Cosmetic Changes...
-Lowered on stock bolts (cut bushings in rear)

-Powdercoated calipers/brackets from VetteShop

-Painted spoiler/door handles/plate frame from Atomic Autosports

-Gloss black powdercoated wheels

-Bead blasted/painted rotors

Hopefully I will be making a trip to Redline Motorsports soon for a Vararam and a dyno tune. Here's a few before and after shots..
