Car Is Done - Finally
Picked up my car from Criswell 02/28/15 after waiting 54 weeks. I immediately went to work making it mine. Over the last 3 months I got alot done. Tinted the windows, had the paint polished, corrected and ceramic coated. Then had a buddy wrap about 2/3 of the car in Xpel Ultimate film.
Next I ordered the factory Stage 3 rear winglets, splash guards and a front Z06 style splitter. I had a local paint shop remove the wheel extensions paint the front splitter and splash guards in Carbon Flash to match everything else.
Ordered the side Z06 badges in CRM and CF and installed those. I really like how they blend in with the car much better. Added a Borla Xpipe and lowered the front as low as it will go on stock bolts. Used aftermarket rear bolts and lowered that a bit also.
To finish up I contacted Ben at Weapon X and he hooked me up with some new wheels and tires. The wheels are powdercoated Carbon Flash to match everything else and use the factory center caps.
Enjoy the pics

I shoot photography regularly as that is my other hobby....shooting cars.....just a comment....watch the background as you have a pole or a tree growing out of the car.....photos 4 & 5.
Photo 3 is great. Also liked the use of depth of field......
My 2 cents......

Looks awesome man, worth the wait, great pics! Love your wheels- are those Pirelli tires (sizes)? The lowering is exactly what I want to do- on the rear, what's the measurement (two fingers)? Sweet!

It is about that, I used the Pfadt lowering bolts, bought four and used the stock bolts for the front. So I have two of those Pfadt lowering bolts left if your interested. They are about $195 a set from Southern Car Parts
car carries it SO well
