Thanks for looking!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Out with the old...

...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.

Off to a pretty good start. Sweet wheels!

wheels do alot :headbang:
