Default Half way done pics! Dirty........

On its way to EPP.. limped it from Muncie to Fort Wayne with a NASTY smelling clutch and grinding sycros with NO exhaust. Fun ride

Anyhow, just thought I'd share some half way done pics. SLP Centermount tips and valance with EPP prototype true duals with mufflers exhaust are being installed at EPP along with the Viper spec tranny, Spec clutch, Bilstien shocks, billet grill, stainless inserts from dragonZ and possibly a few other go fast goodies.

I think so far so good...

Oh thought I would edit this before people tell me to lower it or something else...

Current non stock features:
Eibach Pro Kit
BMR K-member
18x9.5 Chrome Z06 rims
Kuhmo 275/35/18s
Berger Panel mod
c/f whisper lid
all other useless free mods

So maybe its not HALF WAY but at least its on the road again... still "stock" though

Thanks guys... opinions or ideas more than welcome! I like the way it looks and I'm sure I'll love it with the CME and inserts but it doesnt seem complete...

And yes.. the hideous yellow calipers are going away in favor of polished and powdercoated ones that I am working on in the garage in my spare time.

Hey man, I see your from Indy. There are a bunch of us Indy guys that post over on LS2.com in the Midwest section. You actually have to register and be a member to be able to get into the regional sections though. We get together quite a bit and do a lot of car related things. You should come join the fun.

By the way, sweet looking car!

Yes, this place is definately better for tech and more serious information! I pretty much only go to LS2 for the Midwest section. We look forward to meeting you also.

I also agree that it looks amazing. I love the Z06 Rims, I'm planning on putting them on my SS after I get some mods. I think a billet grill with SS emblem would really compliment the look of the rims also.

I actually picked up a black billet grill. Where can I find a SS badge for the front of the grill??? I think the black billet grill with an exposed intercooler behind it will look great We'll see on that part though


thanks for the compliments guys. I've only seen the car for the hour I drove it in the past month and a half
