Installed the new CCW's, C6 Z brakes, and lowered her back down again after the new paint. Now just working on my trick new "Z06" fender emblems.
I spent the weekend driving her from TX to NJ (hence the black bra). This is the vision I had of the car when I first bought it bone stock in Quicksilver.
Looking good! Color looks "familiar".....ie....Lamborghini, MDickie..... But looks great!
Wheels looking good too! An overall KILLER! Now, the question "Of the Day"...... Do you have the GO FAST under the hood to match the "RACE ME" colors?

Hey guys...thanks for the replies. Just a little info:
Yes, the color is Arancio Borealis (Lambo Orange). In the shade, it doesn't pop so much and looks like a plain orange. But in the sun...wow. The color has a lot of gold and green pearl in it, so it pops and flops like crazy. See:
I've ported/polished the original heads and slid an LG G5X3 cam in her.
Additionally, LG Pro Longtubes in front of an X and on to Borla 4 tip Stingers.
A couple of other small mods brought it to 410 RWHP. A little A/F tweaking made 421 RWHP.
The car is lowered on modified stock bolts. I bought the brake kit about a year ago and have been waiting on a wheel decision. Bit the bullet and ordered a brand new set of CCW SP 500's, had them black powder coated topped with single stage satin black paint. Tires are the Nitto Invo's.
Install was cake but the damned Goodrich SS brake lines I was sent were wrong. And since I was in a bind (cause I was driving the car to NJ the very next day) I modified the stock lines to work. Whew. Flushed the whole system out with Motul RBF600. Done.
Can't really tell the performance difference in the brakes tooooo much, but damn do they look stupid sick, especially behind the wheels.
The car is pretty much done, with the exception of the Z06 fender badges that I'm doing something really trick with. Simple, but "ooh-ahh."
And btw...the drive to Jersey was great. The car was sooo comfortable. I pretty much had the cruise on at 75-80 and averaged EXACTLY 25mpg. That's with my 200lb passenger and a trunk full of stuff. That's impressive in my book.
