I've been toying around with the idea of refinishing my wheels and had a member (JAR) do some photoshop work. While I'm not sold on the look, the photoshop turned out incredible!

Thanks again JR for the outstanding photoshop work.

It looks good, it changes the whole personality of the car.

I really like it!

Nice that if you did ever want to transform the whole vibe of the car, it would not be difficult, just $$$, and you could always go back and forth between wheel/tire combos obviously.

Great job on the chop. :cool:

Hey man, I'm glad it turned out well for you, thanks for the shout out!

The black wheels do make it look more aggressive, that's for sure.

Got "ole red" tuned today, and I have to say Patrick Guerra is the man when it comes to tuning. The car is a blast to drive now with its new tune. I was running the base tune from PSI and its nice having a custom tune finally.

If anyone is looking for a tune in the Houston area, I highly recommend Patrick Guerra (aka Patrick G on LS1tech).

It was tuned on a Mustang dyno and it has the capability to simulate a 1/4 mile. Here is a vid of the 1/4 mile simulation run:

Starting to get some of the interior put together. I installed the carpet, shifter boot/bezel, door panels and kick panels.

Still on the to do list is the headliner, rear package tray, rear seat and a few other minor things.

Looking good! Like that torque curve.
Just a suggestion.....your wheels how about painting the centers and leaving the lip as- brushed.

I painted my horn cap to match the black anodized steering wheel with this stuff.

Nice thing is its removable.

Thanks!

The Sparco horn cap leaves a lot to be desired. I was shocked how cheaply it's made considering the wheel itself is well made.

Interior is really looking good.I am following your progress all the way,nice work:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
