Thanks a lot I am extremely happy with the way the car turned out, especially considering how shitty it was when I first got it.

I agree about the grill...I should have maybe kept the SLP grill and did the two tone red/black on it. I do have a couple ideas on the table since I need to keep the front plate but if all else fails I have a custom chrome/black chevy logo from emblempros that will be added after I fill in the holes and paint the middle of the bumper gloss black.

My rim/tire set up is: 17x9.5 (275/40R17 Potenza Re760's) 18x10.5 (335/30ZR18 Pirelli PZero Rosso's).

Thanks again guys I definitely think the hood will complete the look!

Yea thats about it as long as you have tubular lower control arms and an adjustable PHB...preferably on car you are set.
BUT we have a high dollar tire machine with dual mounting arms so that helps out a lot when mounting these tires on a 10.5" rim, 1" wider rim which they say is safer would also be easier lol. No abnormal wear at almost 20k miles and they have seen some serious cornering and very high speeds.

I personally do not really care for verts, but yours looks pretty good. I think I saw this car on the street before. There cant be that many verts in that configuration around here.....

Im sure we have crossed paths before.
Nice car man and sounds like a stout setup, are you able to pass emmissions with that Cam or is it registered elsewhere?

Thanks for the compliment. Im sure they would have me arrested in the parking lot of the emissions test facility LOL. If im at a traffic light, my eyes start burning from the fumes haha. Its registered out in the boonies where I grew up. Actually hitting up a dyno day this Saturday down at RWR. We will see what it does with the 9" under it
