So this has been a long road. Bought this poor 2010 GT500 in March and have been saving it from it's certain demise. It was lightly wrecked, half assed repaired, chinese ebay front clip, spray painted flat black, sold, vinyl wrapped black and daily driven for a while.

full details on that mess can be found here:
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/build-thread-saving-a-gt500.1117782/

Countless hours of small touches have been done like shaving the engine bay and other small projects.

Quick rundown:
BPS cams
Ported blower with VMP elbow
FRPP twin 65mm TB
JLT 127mm CAI
10% lower pulley
2.5 blower pulley
Lethal O/R H pipe
Borla Stingers
Everything from BMR in the rear
Eibach springs
Koni yellow adjustables
Tuned by VMP and it's perfect

Wow I remember when you first posted it here and if I'm not mistaken, on one of the Facebook groups too way back then. The car has definitely come a long way and looks/sounds amazing! Congrats on resurrecting it

Guess I'll be the one to say it... I liked it better as a beater (****** up, essentially).

But now it needs '13-14 headlights and a panel to tie the taillights together.

What an incredible transformation. You should be really proud of the work you've done. I really love it in Crystal White. Gorgeous, and it sounds awesome. Nice, slightly-lumpy idle. Two thumbs up! ;)

Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments. Car isn't completely done.

Adding a black vinyl piece under the spoiler. Other small touches
