Thanks Ryan! It definitely feels like a new car! I have got some new wheels on order as well. I figured I might as well complete the change!

I traded the Z/28 replicas for a second set of OEM black wheel. I do still race, just haven't had much time this year. Best 1/4 mile is still 10.87! Hoping for 10.5 in the fall!

10.87 is incredible, great job! That's gotta be close to 130 mph

R u going to checkout the new ZL1? 650HP and a 10 speed auto! How crazy is that, can't wait to see some of the magazines track runs.

Yeah, I trapped just under 130. The new ZL1 is amazing. The 10 speed auto is going to be awesome! I'm going to wait this time though, no preorder for me!

Picked up some new wheels to go with the new wrap. They are VS Forged VS01's, 20x10 & 20x11 in Satin Black. They are very light, saving a total of around 20lbs of unsprung weight over stock 10 spokes. Wrapped the new wheels in 275/315 Nitto Invo's. I love the new look!

Very nicely done! I think the additions that you made were very nice. Finally, the new wheels really set the car off.

Thank you very much! I love how the wheels just gave it the finishing touch.

@Deke736
can you reupload some pictures?
all pictures from photobucket are not available anymore... that is annoying (not your fault)...
( a problem lot of forums have, when user upload at external pic hosters...some day the whole thread is destroyed because of missing pictures..)


so please upload some pictures again, would be great, thank you.

nice car by the way

I wish they would turn off the function to use links and photobucket. Links and locations change. The forum has nothing to do with it.

Damn this car is looking good. VS1 was a great choice

Yes, the side markers were wrapped as well. My shop laser cut them out to match Oracle markers.
