That is so different and the volume of work that's going into it (and will have to continue to go into it to keep it in that condition) is massively impressive.

One question - does the difference in finish between case and polished surfaces bother you at all?

Just to clarify before anybody gets the wrong end of the stick - I think this is a superb car and a brilliant project, all credit to Corey.

Fk me, I am handy and driven and I had to sit down and take a breath to soak in how absolutely incredible your projects are.
Well said!

Corey your build is amazing!

I much prefer this colour combo over the teal.

Looks great my friend!

Reading through your build thread.. if you had the option to start over from the beginning with all the knowledge you've gained from doing both a ls swap and boosted build.. which one would you pick?

Just do what I do, cut it up and see what happens! haha

Things will get real, considering doing a 550 WHP NA build with ITBs!

No thanks

LS swap, only because of the custom work I did a long with it, the ease of working on the car now, and the "wow" factor.. the car is a conversation piece wether you love it or hate it
