Default Your Cars/Trucks Evolution

I always enjoy seeing pictures of other people cars and being able to whore mine out whenever possible. Lol. I also like to see the transformation some people have put their car through, whether it be restoring, modding, or demodding to bring it to it's glorious self. So, ladies and gentlemen, I figured it would be a cool idea to start a thread on what you have done to your cars/trucks since you have bought them. You can either just post pictures if they're all appearance, or you can add a detailed description along with it if you'd like. As for me, I'll just post pictures and if anyone has questions, they can ask. Here it goes!

1998 Chevrolet Camaro SS SLP #2008

Day I went and looked at it (don't ask why the moron put a shift light on an auto...)









Once I got it washed off from being delivered on a flat bed (notice the crooked exhaust tip due to the flat bed driver)






Chrome plate on the SS scoop inlet removed


Clear side markers


Painted brake calipers:

Before:


After:




"Berger" mod:











Painted behind grille:







Lowered and New wheels:

Before:



After:



New exhaust (from SLP loudmouth to Borlamouth through center mount):

Before:

(See above pictures)

After:





Grille change (from billet to custom painted SLP SS grille):

Before:

(See above pictures)

After:



My favorite mod:



Finished product:





Note: It may not look lowered that much in pictures, the camera makes it look like it sits higher, but in real life it sits perfect in my book. Also, somewhere along the line the 3rd brakelight and rear side markers got blacked out and I got a new SS nose emblem.

So, everyone, let's see yours! As you can see, mine went through quite a transformation from bone stock appearance wise, to how it sits now. I also have a decal to put on the hood scoop this spring.

Very nicely done. I really like the look from behind -- it's kind of you to show the mustang guys something nice.

Nice find just wonder who would leave a corvette deteriorate to the condition of the first pictures. Amazing recovery though.

She was in her 80's and bought it in 1970 in San Diego. Got married, drove the car here to Oregon, parked it in that shed/barn and it sat there for 27 years until I bought it from her.
