That is actually a killer deal!

After about 5-6 hrs, first wheel about 70% complete, need to do barrel and a few small spots that wouldnt come off. Second wheel about 50% removal complete. These are the fronts. This is the bare aluminum, looks like a machined finish. Going to wet sand and polish after paint is off.

We also need to get a list of everyone who has mods to do so we can organize the work to be done.

So far I know:
- MikeM has XSP headers to install
- Ayman needs a new window regulator (not sure if he has parts yet) and and an airbox clamp replaced
- Dustin (1) needs a new window regulator (not sure if he has parts yet)
- Lee needs to dremel some holes in his hood

Who else has stuff to install???

I have some Z06 exhaust manis, cats and mids I need to put on mine. Then I would need to take it to a muffler shop to get a reducer welded in to bolt up to my existing axle-back. I also have a Z06 air intake assembly to swap on mine. to get rid of the wart on the LS3's.

Nice, looks like a lot of work. I almost wish the face of my wheels were polished. Wonder if it can be done.

Mike, you're going to need a tune after you install everything. I'd have Matt at 21st or Sam at AMP do my work if I were you.

Still haven't put them on? Didn't I sell those to you awhile back? Install is painless!

Yes, already discussed it with Matt. Just trying to see if I can find a ls6 intake manifold to install with the headers.

Mike, post up in the C5 for sale parts section and just put, "want to buy in Dallas area a LS6 intake", I'm sure with all the mods out there that someone kept one when the put a fast intake on
