It has been a Transformation from one vision to the final vision shown below. Sorry for starting build post late in the game. If anyone has questions feel free to ask. http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...29329138-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s9...78434915-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...19123134-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...p3026009-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...61054759-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...66080903-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s1...p6622219-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...36461430-4.jpg |
So this was the early stage of having mods done. As you can see Lambos done along with Reverse hood and 3D Vents. Lighting completed at this stage was Halos on headlights and fogs, Grill lighting, Scanner Light and footwells.

Another mod soon after above pic was the Trunk Panel from Jarhead...At the time Jarhead was starting to do more and more with LED lights as seen below. I was able to get a great deal on this as well. This is prior to GM requiring Jarhead to place a Center cut out for trunk release.

Yet another early mod was the Drake Shifter shown below. Loved using the shifter. However, in the last month member CFD created for me a Short Aluminum Brushed shifter to work with my L99 with GM Leather Boot. CFD was great to work with!! I highly recommend this product and included a video below in action. CFD customer service is top notch. I requested a short shifter design from his current longer version. In a matter of days he produced a shifter with install instructions for me to purchase!!!! Now that is a Vendor for you!!!!
Photos of Drake Shifter for Build Thread-- http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s4...94113606-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s4...23245345-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s1...96343771-4.jpg CFD Short Shifter Currently/Recently Installed with Video-- http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s1...14287537-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s2...76917534-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s9...41844108-4.jpg http://youtu.be/uJdDdBTts6M |
Here is another early on pic....In this photo had the Heritage grill painted IOM from Garys Customz along with SS badge on Grill. Seems like forever ago. Painted Fog Light Bezels as well by Lupe
AAC Side Markers also shown along with little IOM bowties on wheels from Big Worm Graphics http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s3...49819042-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s3...20214212-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s3...43585677-4.jpg |
This was when I had Some ACS parts installed which include ACS pod Lighting along with ACS lower fender cutouts. SLP splitter also installed.
I have since gone to the Zl1 front end which I think looks much more aggressive IMO http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s8...26538442-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s9...21784519-4.jpg |
Photo of the Nitros Purge in Action. To bad she wasn't wearing a skirt. This was at a local Twin Peaks Show and purged triggered from remote.

This was taken right after SLP Concept Diffuser installed. It was painted a flat black by Fender Mender In Keller Tx. They also painted black post on the High Wing.
High wing was installed which involved filling in trunk holes from OEM SS spoiler. http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s8...46007758-4.jpg |
This is before and after pics of engine bay..
Before seeing Andy at ADM which included showstopper dress up and Roto fab engine covers http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s8...71726410-4.jpg Current Setup after Andy working his magic. Still working on final look for the engine bay, but have squared away by Camaro Fest. Open for suggestion on engine bay...Would love to have a cover for radiator from Show stopper to cover radiator since Whipple install. http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...36461430-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...p3026009-4.jpg http://hornfrogs.zenfolio.com/img/s5...19123134-4.jpg |
Those are some really nice changes, the car looks great.
