So, some of you all may have heard that my 2011 SHO will be featured in a Road & Track Magazine article.  I have been fortunate enough to score a sponsorship by Livernois Motorsports, and i have a few goodies on their way to me.  This thread will be to SHO what all is getting done.  Some things on the list are: Thunderstorm Catback Exhaust system, H&R lowering springs, AEM methanol injection, and MDESIGN intake. I will keep this updated as things progress. To start it off, I peeled all the plasti dip off the wheels and had them painted Matte Black.  I also am redoing the grille in a flat black plasti dip. Here are some pics from today. To be continued.........

It was the best thing I've seen in a while..... I came to work.... they met me here with their paint booth, jacked the car up, took the wheels off, stayed on site and painted them in their trailer, baked them in the trailer, and re-installed them.  Painted inside and out with all materials and labor...... only $400.00.  $100.00 per wheel isn't bad AT ALL!

Thought LMS only worked with meth kits they sold?  Might want to check on that with the AEM meth coming soon.
