Added some things to my list

Also if anybody is reading this and would like to buy my Chrome SS ZR1 Style wheels, please let me know. And I will post pictures of them. There is a little curb rash on each wheel but nothing that bad.

Well the tires are almost gone that it has now haha. Probably getting new tires next week.

The Z06 rims and new tires will be well over $1,000

Are you interested?? It will be a while before I can sell these rims. I need to get a job first haha.

I was thinking maybe $250-300 for the wheels? We can always work something out in the future if you are interested.

And the price would depend if you would want the tires as well. Because if I get new tires then it will probably $6-700 tires and wheels together..

Also unless your willing to trade straight up for those Z06 rims you have plus a little cash

i paid just over 2300 bucks for my wheels and tires brand new, the wheels and rubber has less than 10K there still brand new, not a single mark

the rubber is 245/45/18's front and 255/45/18's back

I was thinking for a buddy with a TA, hes looking for some rims

Yeah by all means ask him. I don't know if my dad will like for me to sell the brand new tires he is buying but the rims I will definitely sell. I would like to bump the price up a little bit...

$500 gets them. The only marks it has is a little bit of curb rash on each wheel. The left front wheel has the worst. It's probably gotta a scrape about 7 inches long...

Let him know and shoot me a PM with your email address and I will send some pictures that way.

Very true, however if I can have $600 of the $1600 I need for my wheels back instantly.. Then I'll take it.. cuz I'm a poor high school student

Updated my list with a couple things

Saw today that the 2 middle LED's in the 3rd brake light were out. Heard this was a common problem with those

Found one on Hawks Third Gen Parts for $50. Not to bad, gonna order that next week.

So if any of you have that go out and don't wanna try to replace the bulbs that's the cheapest I found them!

[LS1-Z28]

It's been a while lol.

I got all the stuff done besides the stripe and paint the calipers here are pictures of them...
Hurst pistol grip and WS6Store Short Stick The short Stick did make the shifting feel les 'clunky'. Great improvement over stock..





Nose Emblem from Emblem Pros




Billet Grille(Stil trying to decide if I want to put anything on there yet)



BMR Strut Tower Brace

I've changed my mind on exhaust............

I think I am going to go the true dual route...............

It sounds so good!!! Here is a video of exactly what I want to do.



Tell me what you think... It's loud, but not obnoxious. The neighbors will really be pissed when my Dad starts his up and then I start mine up if I can do this haha....

Saw a shop today about an hour from me, going to go see them and see if they can do this kinda work for me... I don't want to have to drive 3 hours just to have exhaust work done...
