Retail says: $16,956.25, of course I didn't pay retail! :-)

Anyone want these Stock LS7 headers? They look pretty cool for a LS turbo project...

Only 356 miles on it so far, here is a sneak peak of the buff I just had done by Detail Werkz in Dallas.






You can see some suede, A-pillar, shifter-boot, arm rest..


I was completely blown away with how perfect it looks, just pure glass! I don't even want to drive it...lol
