heres my LS1 FC3s.  simple build  380 WHP. small cam with bolt ons. 

Paint work was done by

almaden collision & kenny auto Inc.
5827 winfield blvd
san jose ca 95123
408 227 9191

a san jose company thats worked pretty well with me. 

They did the quarter panel pull and  reshaped and fixed up all the mini dings and dents on my car.   I believe in a weeks time they will be respraying my blue sapphire FC   into the color you see here.  harbor blue metallic !!!



 I have the shine auto kit.

  shine auto front lip.
 shine R-spec sides and rear valance
turbo II hood, turbo II spoiler
Modernized S5 tailights
Shine auto  forsight front fenders

pulled quarter panels   and all the dings dents worked out


 i also fit some 17X10.5  FR500 mustang wheels  with some 275 40 17 kumho Mx's   looks like i can possibly even fit a 315 or a 305 with a close close fit but only time will tell.



other wheels i have for this car are fikse FM5's   and a set of bridgestone VTR wheels.  but with the bridgestone I will be runnin 25MM spacers to make up for the flush  17x 9.0+48 17x10.0 +38 5x114.3







now ON with the pictures !!!












stock quarters boo !!






roll roll roll your savannah!!

i think i am going to be in love with this car.  i want to see more!!!


i like the lines of the rear fender pull and front shine fenders.  i think the widebodys are just a little too much most of the time.

shine auto front fenders about 20MM wider   OEM style so you can hardly tell.

wow, looks sick! Love the fender combo! Can't wait to see it finished. Every wide body i've seen i don't like the look of, but this looks like it's gonna turn out great. You planning on running 275's all around?
