Default Finally finished a full blown conversion

Well we finally finished this car, after the first owner sold the car half way through the build the second guy completed it and is driving it. Want to thank Jason at Katech for supplying the ported heads and cam. Here is the list of upgrades
Z06 body painted Ferrari Averio
stage 2 aero kit painted matte black]
our Z06 hood and big mouth vent
E-force supercharger
headers
heads and cam
full leather interior including Alcantara carpet.

Great looking car but the red just clashes under the hood.

Just absolutely beautiful conversion... Good Job on the whole car..., the Red under Hood looks just fine ... Don't listen to the negative comment
The whole car is just beautiful

Pics with top up? I know it hides your best work but it would be cool to see the brown top as well.

Stunning! The interior is expecially magnificent, very euro. Looks like stage 1 aero though, not stage 2. IMHO, stage 1 is visually the most attractive, stage 3 is by far the most agressive but not as pretty.

Too bland.

That is simply beautiful, only missing one carbon fiber piece.

Simply STUNNING!!. I hope you update your website with these photos. The red trim on engine was the perfect contrast. Oh and love the bronze color of the wheels. Excellent detailed work.
