This was a shot from her first day home. April 2012.

Buck Heard · 12-09-2013, 09:34 AM

First modification was the GM rally pack gauge cluster from GM Parts House. June 2012.

Buck Heard · 12-09-2013, 09:44 AM

Second modification was 15% window tint from the Speaker Box in Madison, AL. Top notch service from these guys. Thanks to my wife Amy for picking up the bill for this mod. I just didn't tell her it was illegal.

Buck Heard · 12-09-2013, 09:47 AM

Third modification came from Lupe and River City Creations. Satin black tail light bezels. He does excellent work.

Buck Heard · 12-09-2013, 09:56 AM

Next on my list of modifications was to debadge the car (rear/sides) in preparation for the new Sparks Restoration billet badges on my to-do list.

Buck Heard · 12-09-2013, 10:04 AM

5th modification was the GM 1LE front splitter. March 21st 2013. Installed by Freddy Louis in Huntsville, AL. This was a major upgrade in the looks department and really brought my black and red theme together.

Buck Heard · 04-03-2014, 07:38 AM

The UPS guys dropped off some goodies early this week. This will be my best mod to date. Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires. 285/35ZR20 for the front and 305/35ZR20 for the rear. Gonna be mounting these on my new LG Motorsports ZR28 wheels from Maryland Speed.

Buck Heard · 04-03-2014, 10:06 AM

Out with the old...

Buck Heard · 04-03-2014, 10:10 AM

...In with the new. This has to be the best upgrade you can ever do. In addition to the better handling, this change made it look like I had a completely different car.
