Default New guy here

08 z51 with 45k miles
Bought it in November. This car has been super fun. I came from a Yaris as a daily and before that I had a boosted Scion tC in my teens. Now the Yaris is on Turo earning my mod money

I’ve been uninstalling a lot of the cosmetic things the previous owner did. So far I’ve done full LED interior and side markers. Saving up for widebody zr6x kit and boost. Most likely the CX Racing kit and ac relocation or boost district LSA kit. I’ve got a few months to decide.

im here for classifieds and the FI section. If you have any shops you recommend in DFW for performance let me know!

I'm always at cars and coffee southlake and looking for fun runs.

Congrats on your C6 and welcome to the forum.

As far as info on shops in your area, I recommend you post in either the C6 General section or the Southwest Regional section of the forum where members can give you some leads on good performance shops.
