Default A little before and after picture.

Well my car is basically finished for exterior appearance. I prefer a less is more approach, so it's simple. Here's how I bought it.



Flat hood, stock aside from loudmouth exhaust, third gen wheels, faded tail lights. It was a good starting platform, cause it wasn't molested.

So I did zr1 wheels, 315s in the back, Trufiber ram air hood, lowered with Bmr springs up front, and heater hose and a half a coil cut in the rear. Lmc headlights, flip out plate, Corsa clones, blacked markers, and ceta mod.







Next up I want to focus on the engine bay appearance. Which is slacking.


The interior is pretty plain, b&m ****, boot, and triple gauge pod.

I'd like a nice set of 6le seats, and a 6 point cage.

Audio is simple. Flip out with 4 decent speakers and a small amp to power a double d mods sub.


That's basically it, I'm more concerned with the performance than appearance, I'll be doing a cam within a month, and then deciding on heads. It has a 3800 stall that I love, tsp 1 7/8 headers, slp lid, ported tb, frost tune.

I'll also be switching to a FAST intake. I'm happy so far! Thanks for
Looking.

Thanks guys. The front wheels were actual zr1s off a c4. I had all 4. But they were a little rough, and 9.5. So I called up oewheels, and placed the order for the rears.

The rears are powder coated, with the lips spray painted. The fronts a spray painted. They will all eventually be powder coated.

Thank you!! To be fair, when I got it, I traded the wheels back and got the stock chrome rims. So it appeared 100% bone stock.

I don't have a lot of pics, cause I got a ram air hood as my first mod. Lowering the car was one of the most drastic appearance mods.

The sub is perfect. I use it for a good rock sound, my set up is simple, sounds great.

Thank you. I do want to sell these seats. I would need to hang on to one of the brackets to run a crappy seat I have, until my new seats came in, and I wouldn't know what to ask, but I am looking to sell them.

Very nice; wheels and hood make such a big difference. Why does your car have a Camaro cluster? Or am I just seeing things?

Thanks! I placed the order for my cam this morning. I was thinking how I'd live to paint it a different color, cause I'm actually not a fan of the blue.
