Default Three years in the making...my Supercharged '99 FRC!

Sup guys, its been awhile since Ive posted any pictures but Ive done so much in the past 3 years that I think its time. Today was a gorgeous day so I decided to give the car a quick detail and take some fancy pictures. Here are my mods to date:

Performance

-LG longtube headers 1 3/4 no cats
-Borla stinger exhaust
-ECS Paxton Novi 2000, installed by me, tuned by Slowhawk performance
-LS6 intake manifold
-Ported & Polished throttle body
-180 thermostat
-PFADT coilovers
-C6 rotors
-Hawk brake pads
-Running 12lbs of boost making 512 rwhp 474 tq

Appearance

-Tigershark front bumper
-Tigershark front spoiler painted matte black
-DRM hood
-19x10 20x11 CCW 505a's fully chromed wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sports
-Removed body side mouldings
-Painted inner trunk
-Rear spoiler
-Tinted windows
-"SUPERCHARGED" cobalt ss emblems on fenders
-Lower rear bumper painted black
-LED Taillamps
-Front clear/black park lamps
-Painted fuel rail covers
-Painted intake manifold
-Painted brake calipers
-Shorty antenna
-z06 rear brake vents
-Exhaust plate

Interior

-RSD snap shifter
-Chrome shift ****
-Custom leather seats with 6 point harness access
-Pillar pod with boost guage and fuel pressure

Future Mods waiting for install

-HID headlamps
-Carbon fiber cross bar
-Crow 6 point racing harness

I think that should do it! Ive lost track after awhile and begin to forget what I actually did to the car. Oh and dont make fun of the ride height, I live in Boston Mass and the pot holes around here make it impossible to go any lower. Here are some pics and please enjoy all the fun and passion I've had with this car...

Very nice. I would definitely recommend better floormats though.

Also I forgot to mention, I bought this car with 11k miles on it and in 3 years Ive only put on another 11k. That brings it to a grand total of 22k and change, not bad for an 11 year old car!

Great photos, Paolo. It's nice to see someone from my home state with a bad Vette capable of layin' down the law!

Enjoy the ride man!
