Please don't remind me of the small fortune I have in this car. I honestly would like to eventually find a striped car and start all over so I can build it 100% how I would like to, but obviously being a college student right now that isn't going to happen. I appreciate the comments though. lol.

I'll be at G13 so I'm definetly going to come by and check out your ride if you're there.

The seats are actually a off-brand called TunerFX. They came all in the pleted black material with a ginormous TUNER FX logo where your head is. I got the centers covered in the white "carbon fiber" material you see here. I like the seats a lot but when I was daily driving the car HOLY CRAP was it hard to keep them clean.

And as it stands, I will be attending G13! Just have to work out a few little issues...

ChevyChad: Thanks man. Your car is my ideal LS1 TA just so you know. From the hood to the wheels...everything. Perfect. Great job!

I've always loved your car, but with the new wheels it somehow got a whole lot better.

I'd love to upgrade from my Z06's to those!

Thanks man, yea we measured the 555s up next to the 555Rs and a 555 315 is about the same width as a 555R 335. Pretty nuts.

I appreciate it man. It was definitely worth the extra coin but now that everyone's getting them I'd really like to upgrade again to a set of CCW T10s or Fikse FM10s...someday...

I've been kicking myself for the past year or so. I had the opportunity to pick up a set of used FM10's for an unbelievable price but passed on the offer

Going to ressurect this thread, because this car is ... but honestly, does anyone know how hard it is to swap from an LS1 style front end to an LT1 style front end on a bird? Is it impossible or just moderately difficult? I FAR prefer the front end looks of the LT1 style cars over the LS1's, and I can never find any info on reversing the usual swap which is LS1 to LT1.

Your car does look killer man, I do love all the stages it went thru to get where it sits now. Very nicely done. But let me tell you that rims on your signature do look way much better in my opinion.
