I picked up a painted white Vmax throttle body last month. I finished all the inexpensive performance mods with that one. LOL

Forgestar F14 20x11 and 20x9.5 in Gloss Black - I'm STOKED!!

I love the rims man. Im between those and the Vossen CV2s in black. Not sure if i want gloss or matte yet. But i have got to see what your car looks like with those on it! Im also not sure how big of rims i want. I was thinking 20x9 or 9.5 and 20x10 or 10.5 but the 20x11 looks mean. Especially since the 1LE and ZL1 come with 20x10 and 20x11. What kind of tires will you be running on those?

I'm behind on updating my build thread but this will help me get a bit closer. Christmas came and so did more mods. Stainless Power long tube headers with high flow cats and a Dyno-Tune were top on the list as well as some lighting mods and a new engine cover. The lighting mods and engine cover aren't finished yet so I'll post about those in a few weeks.

I didn't take any pictures installing the headers but here are a couple before and after videos and a picture of the dyno sheet with before and after numbers:

I'm not a blue and orange fan either and I live in Florida.

I like the new blue better, pics are coming.

Thanks for looking,
Rob

When you get the pics of your wheels on, etc., be sure to post them also in the very post of your thread just so everyone sees the "updated" Airman

A couple of weeks after I got the headers and dyno-tune, my car went to the paint and body shop to have a few things done including:
Wet sanding, painted stripes, Stillen gfx installed, mpd1 spoiler installed, and a few under hood dress up items that I won't be showing until later.

The blue highlight around the black stripes and the brake calipers is Kandy Cobalt Blue from the House of Kolors.

I'm sorry about the poor quality cell phone pics, I promise I have better ones coming with the new shoes on:

AirManFL · 03-20-2013, 03:30 PM

Ok...so I feel really bad about how much the last pictures suck so I want to get this update out quick.

This will get me mostly caught up, even though I'm still not happy with these pics. They do show off the cobalt blue better though.

The next update is getting the wheels and tires installed:
Forgestar F14 Deep Concave - Gloss Black
20 x 9.5 +27 offset
20 x 11 +48 offset

Vredestein Sessanta
275-40-20
315-35-20

Right now, the car is back at the paint shop for some minor changes to the stripes but the colors are staying the same. It's getting stripped, and re-painted with double clear coat. Then it will be wet sanded, buffed, and polished to a mirror no orange peel finish.

I know it sounds crazy but it will be worth it.

AirManFL · 03-20-2013, 05:23 PM

I dropped the car off yesterday and my painter is already making progress. It's great to see him going to town on it and not letting it sit for a week in his shop.

Here are some updated pics that are sure to make those with a weak stomach nauseated. I ain't skeerd

I'll keep posting updates as they come in.

Rob

TCAT · 03-20-2013, 10:07 PM

The pictures look great! I can't to see more pics of when it comes out of the shop perfect and ready to roll. It will feel like an eternity, but it's well worth it.

Thanks. I was shocked at the progress already. I dropped it off yesterday morning and they jumped on it.

He said 2 weeks, give or take a day and I didn't believe him. I'm starting to now though.

Texting me pics at the end of two days is a pretty nice bonus.
