Default spring mod pics

Well as we all know it's been a long a cold winter. My spare room in the basement was getting full of parts collected over the winter months. Finally got them back from the body shop and onto the car

Sorry about the photo quality, I got home too late from work tonight to get any outside / sunlight shots and I was too excited to wait for the next sunshine blast

More mods on the way over the next 3-4 weeks :
Optima red top
LS6 intake
new plugs
MSD wires
160 deg t state
HID headlights
LG headers
Elite 3/8"tunnel plate
Dyno tune
Z06 brake ducts ( functional)

that should be it for this year....bank account is officially empty

Enjoy the pics so far...


New shoes 19/20's c6 motorsport with toyo proxies




Painted hoop black, for that slight contrast



added the newly retooled ACS mini rear spoiler ( ABS material, not the f glass one)



Also installed the rear exhaust valence



let me know your thoughts

thx

Corey

Peter I agree the toyo seem really grippy and the ride is actually better than the run flats, which were 10 yrs old. I was afraid going to the 19/20 combo would be horrible with our roads. I did the tire dressing for the 1st time since they have been on the car, and with that low of a side wall, that little applicator will last 5 years

Thanks, I was a little worried when I dropped it off, but I am really pleased that I did it.

Looks great - the all black roof looks great with silver.

Interested in what rear rotors you are running - are those stock sizes, GM, aftermarket???

Thanks for the replys guys !!!

The rotors, are aftermarket, drilled and zinc plated. I picked up in Toronto last summer for about $300 +/- They are factory size, only have about 2k worth of driving on them, so far so good.

Lookin'

I have the Toyo T1R's and was very impressed with how nice and smooth the ride is, actually better than the old tires which had a much bigger sidewall I too thought I'd be in for a filling jarring ride but was pleasantly surprised
