Default ZR1 C6 Vert Conversion!! Parts are arriving!!

Nice weather in Victoria BC is finally here!! Finally got around to taking some pics. This is the car now with the Carravaggio wide rear end. I have ordered a full ZR1 conversion from Gene including the splitter and rockers, new rims/tires, complete '09 4LT interior and will be installing a new Kenwood/JL sound system. Will post updated pics when all the parts get here













Old Amp Rack and sub box

My Jake chicklets

front bumper
front fenders
rear quarters
liners
splitter

I know this is a dumb question but where did you fit the amp rack and sub box? Do you have pictures of it installed?

Oh yea, the car is right on.....

Thank you

If you were to take out the stock rear speaker panel the box fits there - the MB Quart 6.5's replace the stock rears - pic included of the other side of the box - the water fall goes between in the unfinished space of the box

The sub fires back towards the trunk. The amp rack fits right behind the box in the trunk. I'm sorry about not having pics with it installed

I'd prefer to sell them as a set - I have the radio and ac bezel surrounds, the gear shifter and the e-brake handle as well - Bought the CF last June for $8373 Hows less than half price sound $4k

It's already a unique, nicely done car. The new version is going to be even nicer. Please keep us informed and pics when done.

If anyones wanting the Z06 brakes, you can have em for $800 - inc calipers, rotors, pads - the front calipers I had to bevel slightly to fit with my old rims (not these) - send them to Mike to get powder coated - would be brand new
