Detoxx Transformed (ProCharged Atomic Orange Grand Sport Content)
Like the title states this is a transformation. There weren’t any Atomic Orange Grand Sports made but with my car originally being a base model LS3 it only seem right that I go with those fenders plus I like the look. I didn’t however want GS badging so I had some custom made to match one I alread had on the rear of the car.
Got the complete front conversion kit from Gene at Cultrag Performance. I purchased the rear kit from him back in 2012 and like at that time he provided grade A service.
I also went with with a carbon front splitter from C7 Carbon with the bumper reinforcement and a set of their carbon side skirts. I already had a carbon ZR1 spoiler from APR Performance on the car.
Oracle LED side markers added a nice touch as well.
Got it a new set of wheels also to complete the look. Went with Forgestar CF10’s in a black graphite finish.
All of this wouldn’t have been completed without the amazing work from K&T Kustoms Kollision in Shelby Township, MI. They installed the kit, the carbon pieces, wheels, side markers, and blended the paint to perfection.
Ok now on to the pictures.
Before:
Parts/The Process:
After:
I’m very happy with the results. Now it has the look to go with the 933rwhp ProCharged power. I know some will question why I didn’t originally buy a GS or Z06. Well I didn’t want a GS because of the weight and gearing. Not to mention this color wasn’t available. I also didn’t want a Z06 because I wanted the targa and I had every intention on boosting the car when I bought it. I bought December 2011 and it was boosted February 2012. Stock bottom end LS3 ever since.
i always wondered why base vetted looked so different from the front than z06/Gs.......i new they had the pieces on the front bumper, but just realized its a different grille. nice car
Car turned out great . This is my goal is going procharged which head unit you have ?
It has the D1X on it. Ran the D1SC from 2012 until last year when PC had me test the D1X.

Yeah to the naked eye it’s hard to tell sometimes.

Looks great! Also like the small details on the decals, something I'd like to do when I get around to doing some custom badging. Appreciate the time and effort you've put into it, it definitely has paid off.
I keep coming back and looking at these pics its a beautiful car and setup. I cant figure out if its the paint flop or the muted lines in the pic but the corners of the hood by the headlights dont look like they lineup with that bumper in the pics to me though.? Visual distortion?

You would have to seen it in person. Everything lines up right. It’s the angle and way the res of the pics got compressed.
