Default Freaking awesome!!! I made it just like I wanted it!! Extreme C6 Transformation.

Okay y'all!!! Just like the title says!! Extreme C6 Transformation. I purposely bought a used C6 Base model because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Here is a photo of how it looked the day I bought it in March 2018.

I knew I wanted a wide body kit, upgrade Grand Sport brakes, always wanted lambo doors, so that was a must, Big wheels and meaty tires, and a bold color change!!! Well Fast forward to now......What do y'all think? (Photos Below)

It took me a couple weeks to get my parts wish list together. Then get parts ordered and then waited. Once everything started arriving about 8-9 weeks later. The install and build happened. This past Friday it was finally road ready!!

I am so excited!!

Oh my Instagram is QUICKSILVERSS in-case anyone uses IG and wants to check out my other posts.

It's yours! You gotta be the one to like it. We don't count. But, I will say, I like it.

PS kinda like the year or so when Corvettes didn't have yellow in the lineup. People wrote in and complained---most said they might not buy it but they kinda liked seeing it on the road from others who did buy them! Sounds a bit strange, but then again, I've had Corvettes that were green (not a fave color of those who buy), yellow and orange.

If you like it that’s all that matters, a little over the top for my taste. If anything get rid of the spike looking lug nuts......

Damn nice job!

Where did you get the rear spoiler from? It really adds to that aggressive look you have just nailed!

Oh yeah I should add. I am getting Gloss White Stripes on it so the White spikes go with the color Scheme.

I know the photos do not do the color very much justice. The wheels are orange. The Body is Blue and the color Scheme is based on Houston Astros colors!!!

I love that spoiler too!! It was expensive about $1000.00 - I will ask the guy who made it if its ready for public release and get back to you.

I feel bad for all the necks I broke this weekend driving it around town in Galveston, TX. I know how they feel.....because my wallet is broken as well.

Looks pretty good. Where did you get the lug nuts?

Nice job. Looks like excellent craftsmanship and I am amazed at how much work you did in just few weeks. Fantastic transformation.

well I can tell you it was not an easy 3 weeks. The shop who did the work here in Houston did have a head start on tear down waiting for the body kit to arrive. They got started on adding the Grand Sport break kit I bought and doing the lambo doors. Then waiting for wheels which took I think 9-10 weeks. When body kit they got to it doing the install and color change. Then I decided on doing Ridetech HQ coil overs because the stock shocks were wore out! Everything came together in the end just right! I love it.

Always great when you get it where you want it. I like what you have done! I think I would add some raised white letters on the tires of that beast as well.

oh yeah! Great idea. Already in the plans! I just haven’t decided on what to put on them yet. Open to ideas.

Maybe “Earned It!”

I like the car better than the pictures of the car. Seems the camera is set wrong or something...Look forward to some better pics of the car as I believe it probably looks really good. Congrats on the Car!
