Nice man. That should wake it up. Looking forward to seeing the installation pics.

Not much of an update - but I did manage to go up to where I am storing the Corvette and work on it a bit.

I ordered a steering wheel from a 2012-2013 C6 Corvette a few months back and finally got that installed. The 2012+ has leather grips built into the leather - as well as a different finish on the steering wheel control surrounds. The airbag that I had used in my older steering wheel clipped right in, and the steering wheel controls all work!

I also started swapping out the factory interior bulbs for LED's - I did this on my truck awhile back and really love the look.

Also - the house is moving along - the footers are done and perimeter walls are done as well. They are starting on the underground water piping - will lay down the insulation - then start on the slabs - after that its framing time!

Now for some pics:

That blower...
 

Makes the car!

Drove a customer's GS with one, and some LT's, and a tune...was unreal!

I have the long tubes, and the tune, just need boost!

Happened to stop by where the Vette is being stored this weekend - I finished up the LED install:

Thats about it for now - I have to wait for the house to get finished being built, move, install the lift then tear into the motor again.

What pedals are you running?

Stock C6 pedals...

SS update:

I happened to be looking on the Chevy SS Facebook group - and happened to see a guy selling a GM blackout kit for the SS.

I had looked at the kit - but importing it from Australia was going to be around $600 - to get rid of the chrome on the front end of the car.

The seller lived in Atlanta but was driving up to Charlotte for the NHRA 4 Wide race at Zmax - we met up and I bought the front end parts off of him.

I installed them this weekend - the side vents where easy, but the front bumper had to be entirely removed to get to the trim rings.

I really like the front end without all the chrome - it fits better with my personal taste.

Here are some before and after pics:

Way better

Much better. I like how it hides the fogs now.

As I updated earlier - to continue the black theme - I installed my 2009-2014 CTS-V sedan wheels that I had on my G8. I didn't install them for a year because I wasn't sure if the wheel sensors would match up with the SS.

So I stopped by Discount Tire last weekend and asked if they had the SS sensors in stock - and they did. So yesterday after work I drove other there to have them break down the wheels, install the sensors, and program them.

Before they broke them down - I asked them to verify the sensors where indeed different between the G8 - and the SS. According to there system they where the same! GM changed the part number between the 2 cars - and no one could verify if they would work. So they just swapped the wheels - programmed the sensors and I was on my way!

If I had known they would work - I would have swapped over a long time ago!
