It is and it bugs the hell out of me too. Getting a shorter antenna today.

Going to do some maintenance style things like O2 sensors etc.

LS7 clutch (it has a spec 3, not my style)

Exhaust from front to back(it has steel headers, I like stainless)

Change int lights to blue

Have fun!

Kind of a double edged question. This car has 90,000 less miles than my LT1 did. That being said, I LOVED the way my LT1 made torque down low. This thing feels like its a ecoTech down low....but once you rev it up its a rocket. I can only imagine you guys that have great big cams/ power.

Wow nice. I really like the black under the spoiler too. I may photoshop it on my own car to see how it would play out...

Photoshop is so old school! Plasti-dip it!


Great save! I bet the old owner won't recognize it

Looks great, how did you go about painting the 10 spokes? Did you paint just the black or redo the whole wheel

10 spokes are powder coated.

Started off by blasting them, powder coat in silver, tape everything off, then powder everything in black.

The entire wheel/everything was powder in black. Take the tape off and then clear it.

I would only trade them for custom deep dish ZR1's. They just look awesome on any color car.
