My build thread....
My car was bayed today so I should see it at Coughlin this week. Let the mods begin! So here's a teaser.
The corvette and fish are coming off but I'm not adverse to badges, just not chrome or the the ones chev has...
So this is going on in place of the fish - made to OEM stds by GM licensed emblempros.com:
and this will replace the corvette on the back - carbon flash lettering from RPIdesigns.com
Should look good on the Cyber paint. - about 20 more mods planned... stay tuned...I'll tell you how I did it, and where I got it...Again, feel free to flame, "macht nichts" to me...

Please let us see pictures, after you get it and start the mods - the more the better. Cyber Gray is working on moving to the top of my color choice list right now and I would love to see more images of cars in that color. What color interior will your car have?

Mod 1:TSW 19/20 Nurburgrings
Ok The "fake forged" (inside joke)...are going on, check back for updates. A few bits of info: no centering rings, offset perfect, TPMS monitors switched, no problem-inside of spoke matches EXACTLY the cyber gray

Lowering:done at Lashway
Had the car after wheels lowered using the bolts...interesting and maybe why we are seeing diff levels coming out of factory. The rear was already lowered virtually all the way and the bolts would only go down.2 and the front took .75....had it done at Lashway mtr sports as I did not want to screw with it...he also measured each side and was $100.. Great shop owns a C7 ...Eric at Lashway mtr sports
