Pictures of it all Shined up for LSFEST! LSX thirdgen and C5 Corvette

I detailed the exterior this week as I am prepping for a big LSX Show in Kentucky called LSfest. I will be driving just shy of 5 hours each way.

Tomorrow will consist of detailing the engine compartment.


The car is a 1991 Z28 with a built LS6 motor. It also has a built T56 and some go fast suspension.


The C5 is my brother's as he will be tagging along.

Looks awesome! You should be proud to own that.

Quick question though... obviously you're not using the stock TPI snorkle intake anymore - why are the air filters still there?

I would assume to keep dirt/debris out of the engine bay.

I have a block off plate that I have yet to install, it will replace the tpi air filter setup.

dude...
your car looks KILLER.
those meats are awesome.
i wish they would come out with engine shrouds that don't say Corvette on them.
not that it hurts the overall presentation, but your car is so on point that it doesn't need to fly a Corvette flag. it laughs at Corvettes.

anyway, very well done. looks good from every angle.

Re: Pictures of it all Shined up for LSFEST! LSX thirdgen and C5 Corvette

Did you put an entire plate of sheet metal over the firewall or just weld the holes and seams ?

Tibo,
I created a sheet metal plate that I cut to fit the fire wall.
