Default New Guy

Hello everyone, been lurking around for awhile, thought I would introduce myself. I bought my car late last year and have been doing small tweaks on it, waiting to get it back from the body shop, then more mods to come.

Anyway, here are some pics....

Thanks guys, oh don't worry I baby her to death. The car already has some mods, but I plan on doing SFC's and a torque arm relocation, I have factory fogs to put in and I picked up an LS1 intake. Then hopefully 17"/18" C5 Z06 replica's with 295 rears.

Hello . Thank you, I need to spend some time doing the wiring mods to clean it up some more, but its pretty clean for now.

Vetteboy99, technically no... but a lot of LT1 guys mod the LS1 air lid/radiator cover to work. I haven't 100% committed to it though, it requires cutting the radiator support and under hood structure as well as some mods to the mounting of the a/c condenser... I haven't had the car to fit up the intake yet to decide if im gonna proceed with it. I might use an aftermarket filter for a vette and design something with that a well.

Edit: Just realized you meant intake manifold and I meant air intake. LOL

Cleeeean. Very nice! Halos would look sweet on her. New exhaust in mind?

Love it though (: keep her black.

Thank you very much, I will probably get to some sort of headlight upgrade next winter. I like the sound of the Flowmaster so far, it has a 3" h/f cat and I plan on doing Pacesetter mids at some point.

The car was repainted a year or so prior to me purchasing it, always was black, but now its true black, not the factory brown/black, it will stay this way too!

Ok everyone, I finally got the car back from the body shop (had to have some of the paint fixed under waranty) and made a short video for you guys. I am still getting used to my camera so no flaming.
