Looks like you are having a ton of fun marty.

Picked up the car the car Friday morning and wow am I happy.

I can't thank the guys at G5 Carbon enough for making the Carbon Fiber happen for the Camaro. It has totally
transformed the look of my car and it's like having a new car.

I also want to thank,

Paul at Need4Speed for offering the new MR228 Wheels as they complete the look I was going after.

The Guys at Aerosports Concept for offering the Wicker Bill which completed the look.

Tyler and the guys and gals at JDP Motorsports for the Tow Hook, Stainless Works Exhaust, Cats and Headers.

DEI for the Tranny tunnel heat Shield and the Sound Deadening in the trunk.

Gen5DIY for being a one stop for all of the ZL1 conversion parts for the rear diffuser and the ZL1 Grille

Emblem Pro's for making the one off Grille emblem ( should be here soon )

Show Stoppers for the Paint, Bodywork and installation of the G5 Carbon Parts.

Bill & Scott at Super Car Performance for installing the suspension, rear brakes last year.

and finally Victor Fulton for the putting my thoughts to paper and doing the rendering. (ps Victor we need to update the hood part, sorry)

Without all of these guys my car would still be sitting in my garage and all of the parts would still be in my Warehouse.




















Better pictures tomorrow morning as I plan to shoot the car before the sun comes up.

Thank you again to all who have helped me get this Car Transformed and ready once again last minute for this years Power Tour.

After the Power Tour the plan is to install the Stainless Works Exhaust, Pulley and get the motor tuned and see if we can get 650hp out of the car.

Install the Harness Bar, Recaro seats, ZL1 Shifter, and the Kicker Sub Box.

The Wish list would be to have a set of red factory seat belts made for the car and it will be complete.

Next step is to change up the engine by adding some color to it.







Since the guys at G5 Carbon never rest and keep coming up with cool parts to rid the Gen5 of the plastic and
create cool carbon parts I decided I needed to buy the trunk filler panel.

Up next is the Stainless Works Headers & Exhaust that should arrive on Tuesday.









And the final piece to the puzzle is the SLP Cold Air Intake.

Still got the bike mount? I was gonna do a trunk mount for mine, but i tossed that idea, thinking about some boring roof (removable) Thule. Still would like a something at the trunk.

Well, I pretty much hate cleaning cars so the Chrome had to go so after seeing Steilows new Camaro at Sema last year. I new i wanted to change the color on the trim and wheels. So Kenny sent off the wheels and trim to the Powder Coater and we had them coated in a Titanium color. Very similar to what Audi used on the R8 which is where the color for the car came from.

The bottom of the dash was Krinkle Coated and we also added down bars under the hood. A few other things were done but I can't remember them right now.

Thank you I am really excited about the transformation. I can't wait to get the headers, Exhaust and the Recaro seats installed. It will seriously feel like a new car at that point.

Beautiful!!!

Looks killer Marty. I love the new Camaros---especially when they sit like yours. The carbon hood on it is perfect.

Can I ask how much you paid for the seats when you got them?
