I'm having major elective surgery on my 2011 2SS/RS IOM.

Adding:
quarter panel (rear fender) vents
front fender vents
T3 ports (front bumper)
Painted brake calipers

Follow the progress here:

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.... SHE'S PRETTY CUT UP IN SOME OF THE PICS

The front fenders are from Gary's Customz -

Here is the website for the shop doing the work, Sinful Enhancements in Lemon Grove, CA (San Diego):

PS. Yes, this was inspired (aka copied) by Gary's Customz Camaro.

Gotcha. Gotta love Gary's car!

I kind of want to do what ACC did with their quarter panels and the xenon scoop molded in. Gotta talk with my body shop

just looked that one up. I don't like those quarter panel scoops. They look like the JC Whitney Mustang scoops you put on with 3m tape...

not that bad if you are looking to spend about $75 vice $2,500.

but... the forward vents are very nice.... I do like those.

The $75 look pretty good, you can even cut in your fender to make them functional, similiar to AAC's Camaro.

Their a little more than $75 but to each there own.

I'd have them functional and molded in, instead of just on with tape. I like the look of a little cover instead of a big hole.

I was going to do something like this with them too, just different color scheme. Minus the upper



Still following your build though

Dont mean to jack your thread, but could you send me a link to Gary's car, or let me know what his username is so I can look at the rest of his car (if he has other pics of it or even a journal for all his upgrades).

But I do love the concept of functional side scoops, and would love to see how your counter-parts car turns out!
Thanks in advance
