It would take most a week JUST to make that thread. Holy Shit.

It takes a special kind of person to be able to do that. Especially to that level of detail. I mean he fucking used touch up paint on the shocks. Holy fuck.

The results are unbelievable; Seriously. I would have just torn the car apart and sent everything to the body shop for paint. It's amazing what some people can get away w/ as long as they have the right chemicals, equipment and know-how. VERY IMPRESSIVE

And yeah, that LT5 is just damn't SEXY

Nice job cleaning it. I love the ZR-1 and the LT5... and I can appreciate the job he did cleaning it up. But I have to think that after it's been cleaned to such a degree it's just going to spend the rest of it's life pampered on a showroom or sitting in a garage.

It used to be a pet peeve of mine when I detailed my old C4, but the white letters in the gas cap area will clean up to be bright white... Otherwise, WOW....

cptbimes · 01-30-2009, 06:13 PM

man did a spectacular job..but that's probably the ugliest color and wheel combination i've ever seen on a c4 zr1.

TurboFiveOh · 01-30-2009, 06:52 PM

It's maroon and hideous...

Now if it was admiral blue with a white stripe then I'd have sex with it.

Wow, that guy has talent.

yep, i like the color alot....any color can be "ugly" if not taken care of

SVTParatrooper · 01-31-2009, 01:44 AM

Wow, that guy did one hell of a job.

Myostatin · 01-31-2009, 09:23 AM

My only question is how much did it cost?

Lunchbox · 01-31-2009, 07:56 PM

Shits still ugly....

Mwilson · 02-01-2009, 08:14 AM

I love that color and he did a great job!

My dad has a 40th and it looks almost exactly the same. In fact I may go take it out tomorrow. But that color is only on the 40ths from my understanding and I wish my fathers came it an LT5

BoTiS · 02-02-2009, 12:00 AM

Holy shit. 60 hours though, wonder how many hours it would have taken to just repaint the damn thing.

nosubsitute4hp · 02-02-2009, 12:10 AM

^ my thoughts exactly

TurboFiveOh · 02-02-2009, 06:23 AM

a repaint would kill the value of the car to some point.

RickRack · 02-06-2009, 12:15 PM
