I could not be happier..it sounds and looks better than I could have ever imagined.

I will say I was absolutely astounded how just normally driving around the driveability really is unchanged from stock. I was floored that it drove that normally until you really wanted to feel it...amazing work.

The Livernois name is on the outside of the car, it will be under the hood, it's on custom gauges, and will be proudly displayed on my show board. I'm a dedicated customer that hopes to send lots more work your way by showing mine off. Thanks again guys. Anything I can do to help you guys, to promote you, or to show up with my car somewhere to show it for you, just say the word.

Eric

The beast is in surgery today. Getting a set of drilled and slotted rotors, Hawk pads, and stainless lines. Then a transfusion to Motul 600 fluid.

A little update. Car back in my hands tomorrow finally so I will post up some final pics with the vertical doors and new fenders, etc. and maybe a video.

In the next few days I will be installing engine bay dress-up such as Showstopper covers, polished caps, knobs, covers, red CAI rubber joints, etc.

I will also be pulling the front end to do some mods to it, custom headlight assemblies with halos, grill lights, new ACS ports, heritage grill, etc.

Replacing the hash marks (have to due to fender change) with some in back carbon fiber.

My Anvil spoiler on the way!

Custom fender badges...

And things like the strut tower brace, throttle body, ports, hood liner, rear quarter ports, etc will all be going out for paint.

Just a peek into the next few weeks work...spring and car show season is coming...gotta speed this up....

setback today...unfortunately an employee of the shop I used for the door install was unexperienced with the install of the VDI kit on Camaros although he has done many on other vehicles. He miss cut the back of the fender for clearance and has ruined a brand new set of Gary's Dual Vented custom fenders.....argh....

Everyone was pretty torn up and they will make it right. Mistakes and #&#$^% happen I guess but still pretty disappointed.

BMR parts arrived today! So once I get past this fender/door caper I will get started on the BMR suspension components install. Even with brand new BMR Trailing Arms it took about 10 minutes in the car to know it's still got pretty good wheel hop. So I now have on hand:

BMR Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Set
BMR Toe Rods
BMR Upper Control Arm Bushing/Mounts
BMR Solid Cradle Bushing Set
