Well the Zr1's have some nicks and i bought them for cheap, so i want some nice rims, and they are C6 rims, not C5. I should have them on monday, unless there is a wheel shop open tomorrow then i might do it tomorrow.

It ended up costing me 4k, yes the car was red prior, i did the ls1 front end conversion and he lined everything up, sprayed under the hood, sprayed the rear hatch on both the inside and out, painted all the little things like the ram air vents and fender vents, fixed a crack in the hood and some small dings on the rear quarterpanel. All in all was a little bit more than i was thinking to spend but it was well worth it. I have some things to finish up, i want to get some black outs for the rear and maybe some for the front also.

Looks very good.

why not?...its HIS car, let him do what he wants to...

personally, if i were to badge it a ws6, i would wait until i got the ls2 motor in it like his profile says hes goin to get, but thats just me.

people with original ws6/firehawk/ss cars really get bent out of shape when a "lowly" transam/z28 gets some ws6/firehawk/ss badging on it...

car looks great man!-I love the ls1 front end conversion, nice work!
