Once I took delivery in 2010 the Mod bug hit hard. Living in Fort Worth it was a challenge to find a Custom Shop who specialized in lighting and cosmetic type mods. Luckily was able to hook up with Scorpion Customz in North Richland Hills. Owner and mechanic Craig went straight to work installing Halo lighting, 3d Carbon Vents, Reverse Hood, Lambo Doors and Emblem pros Cup holder Switch plate along with Monster Switches for center console. Craig also came up with the idea of Nitrous Purge from 3 D Vents. Cut me a killer deal on entire install!!















Lambos going in



Little bit of wiring

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.









Final Install

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--

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

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.

This is before and after pics of engine bay..

Before seeing Andy at ADM which included showstopper dress up and Roto fab engine covers



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.
