[Music]

interior before this video gets started

guys I do want to mention that we are

going down to 30X entries in the next 24

hours so you still got a little bit of

time left to get those 35x entries

locked in for this truck right here the

TRX killer along with 30 ,000 cash and

also we're doing something super special

with this new product that we got for

the next 24 hours as well so as you guys

know we run Aza steering wheels in

almost all of our builds carbon fiber

stuff they can do all sorts of

customizations and they're the best

steering wheels in the game and we're

actually going to throw in a bunch of

Gift Cards into random orders placed on

the goons Squad knee pad right here and

they range from $500 to $11,000 guys so

definitely be sure to check out goons

squad.com check out all the official

rolles copy some gear and you might be

the one what is up guys welcome back to

the channel So today we're going to

continue working on the Corvette C8 and

as you guys seen in the previous video

we got this sucker sounding right and

it's just absolutely mind-blowing what

the Army trick sounds like out the

backat especially with it in sport mode

but now we got to get this sucker

looking right because it almost looks

like it's lifted up right there so we're

going to take care of that today first

thing in this video right now we're

going to crack open these boxes right

here and that is some brand new wheels

for that Corvette those right there are

the original ones I think from two

different parts cars and they kind of

look a little wax and they're probably

uh damaged in a few areas as well so

we're going to go ahead and change that

for some epic wheels that are in these

boxes right here and we are going to use

those tires because those are pretty

much brand new tires and they're Pilot

Sport 4S's they're amazing tires so

we're going to go ahead and just

probably lift this car up take those

wheels off and the tires as well we're

going to mount them onto here and then

we're going to move on to some low

wearing Springs get this sucker sitting

right and it's just going to completely

transform the look of that thing it's

going to be absolutely insane so let's

just go ahead Dive Right into to these

boxes right here see what we got and

then just go from

[Music]

there

wow

[Music]

I

[Music]

he

[Music]

[Music]

all right guys so check this out this

car is finally sitting perfect after

installing the brand new Wheels I mean

these things just look absolutely sick

we kind of wanted to go with like a

Spokey wheel because I think they just

look so good on these cars look at that

man that is just insane use the new new

pretty much tires cuz we took these

tires off the parts car ones and these

are actually not the sport s's these are

the allseason ones which they're perfect

for the road conditions around here you

know what I mean exactly yeah they're

still super sticky and they're going to

get the job done you know not even a

th000 miles off that car nice tires and

then we threw on the lowering springs on

the shocks and this thing just sits

perfect it's not too tall it's not too

low I think it dropped it about an inch

or a little bit more than that and it's

the perfect stance for this car and the

front lift still works that sucker

raises and lowers I mean this is the

this is the ultimate setup right here

dude it looks so clean now that it's

lowered in the back there's a little bit

more concaveness going on in the front

they're a little bit more narrow but

they still look super aggressive dude

dud super sick I'm glad we went with

these These are 19s in the front 20s in

the rear staggered they look absolutely

insane and I mean now we just got to

piece this thing together but we got to

do some more painting right exactly I

think instead of moving into the

interior we don't have our SRS module

and our seat belts but we still need to

put a few things together but we'll save

that for later right yeah we'll put

together like the door maybe this

quarter panel stuff like that but right

now we want to do a little bit more mods

and we want to actually throw together

this rear bumper so might as well go

ahead and paint it you know what I mean

might as well yeah we can go ahead and

paint this sucker along with this we got

to repaint this whole entire section

right here cuz there's some cracking

what we will probably do is possibly

paint that one over there possibly paint

that one because that one is in good

condition no cracks and I don't want to

sit here fix that cuz that's down to the

fiberglass we'll probably just throw

this to the side repaint that one throw

it on here and it'll be just like new

and we may end up repainting these

quarter panels cuz for some reason while

we were painting all the parts the

quarter panels ended up having uh some

fish eyes I don't know if the camera

would catch it but very closely there's

a little bit of fish eyes there that you

can possibly buff it out we'll see we'll

send these down and we'll probably just

end up repainting them you know yeah

we'll give it a try we want this car to

be perfect so that's our goal so I guess

let's go ahead and get some paint work

done dude let's go ahead sand that rear

bumper and a few other things and spray

it

[Music]

in

[Music]

[Music]

all right guys so we're going to pause

for a quick second because the giveaway

winner is actually coming out in this

video which is going to be tomorrow yep

in the morning and uh we got to get

ready so we are testing some confetti

the first one spring loaded it was trash

now we got these like champagne bottles

let's you want you want go that's to

pop wo that's

sick dude and I love the color too oh

yeah dude that's perfect so we got a few

of these we got a few big ones too right

here these things are always great man

those things are loud dang we got some

more what if we gave the winner one of

these that way he TOS it just hand it to

him don't even say nothing he probably

won't even know how to spin it we'd have

to give him one of these These are easy

easier to understand spin that thing one

of these try one of those as well those

look kind of weak as well those are

definitely spring loaded oh this has

like a wrapper over it let's

see what

the that is weak right there we got to

go go with these right here and also

these right here these are going to be

awesome and also we're going to go ahead

and order a bunch of chicken wings guys

that's his favorite food he's coming out

with his family too that's my favorite

food too hey we're going to eat with him

we're going to clean up the well the

truck's already clean but we're going to

make it detailed yeah we'll clean it up

detail a little bit better probably have

it in here we'll line up pop these

suckers man this is just awesome and

he's going to drive that sucker all the

way to New Mexico I wonder if he's going

to want to drive it with these wheels or

the original Wheels dude either way it

goes it's just it's such a smooth truck

it's sick man it's going to be a nice

comfortable drive back dud in a brand

new truck that you just won I can only

imagine dude yep along with 35,000 dude

that's insane insane that's why we do

these man it's just such an incredible

feeling but he you could win that one

right there and get the same experience

and do a burnout here before you before

you leave whatever you want to do you

can do it's yours it will be yours

that's insane but yeah man we're getting

this stuff sanded while we're preparing

and uh you want to try this one go ahead

and try it might as well

dude we got to get these dang these are

sick yeah I actually ordered a bunch

online but they got stuck in some sort

of weather

Transportation issue or whatever Roman

candles some fireworks that'd be pretty

cool outside but if it was dark but this

is going to be like around lunchtime

we're going to have the most epic winter

party I think we have ever had they're

always epic but whatever you request

we'll do it

[Music]

exactly

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

a

[Music]

[Music]

you

[Music]

[Music]

dang son first in the world right there

that is crazy right there guys we were

just experimenting a little bit here and

it actually turned out super sick dude

pretty sick I can't wait to see what it

looks like on the bumper and against the

car so this was just a headlight extra

one that we had or tell light that we

had lying around I was like dude let's

scuff this thing up tape it up and just

see what it looks like we just had one

so if it looks good we'll paint the

other one dude 100% but dude this was

super tough to tape up as you guys can

see it's pretty intricate right there

and you got them lines just perfect

Perfect Dude that is crazy man it looks

super sick I'm just looking at right

looking it from right here it looks

absolutely sick we left those reflectors

in there because I thought it just gave

it a little bit more contrast with the

blue it looks super good there is one on

the side right here but that painted

blue is probably the best call because

that's going to look super slick on the

side dude can't wait to test that out as

for these other parts they turn out

pretty dang good other than some more of

those fish eyes dude yeah dude I think

it's just all the humidity that we have

going on I mean it was super foggy today

it got really hot I mean we're not even

wearing jackets anymore t-shirts so I

think this weather change it made

everything super moisturized in our

whole shop like shop in the paint Boo

and everywhere it kind of sucks it just

made a lot of tiny little fish eyes

which just absolutely suck so we may end

up sanding this stuff down and

repainting it along with maybe those

quarter panels and when that front

bumper comes in cuz can't stop this

there's nothing you can do to stop this

unless there's some special clear coat

that they sell but I think we'll figure

it out out yeah either we'll buff it or

repaint it we'll test both options to

see which way is going to be the easiest

and the fastest but so far I mean they

look pretty dang good for the most part

other than those fishe eyes that like

you see only when you get really really

close to it yeah no big deal we'll

figure it out but as right now I mean

that's pretty much um a good bit of

painting for tonight it's already super

late in the morning giveaway winners

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

oh my goodness dude look at this

interior man back man it looks so good I

mean with the full interior in I mean

it's not 100% because we don't have the

rocker for this side but look on that

side it is complete it just needs to be

vacuumed up cleaned up and it'll be OEM

man dude this is awesome so I actually

ran up to the house and I actually found

out that the seat belts and the SRS

module came in from um L&D Solutions and

that is a beautiful blue stripe on the

both sides dude oh yeah super nice

little touch right here I mean it it

feels good sitting in this thing

completed everything started working now

we have like this thing that's working

all these buttons started working all

these buttons over here the lift buttons

all light up they weren't working

previously I guess something was just

not allowing everything I think it was

the SRS module cuz as soon as we plugged

it in everything kind of started going

back into place so right now we're going

to scan it probably clear some codes try

to get that engine light off that's the

main thing you know what else is going

to start working dude what remote start

need to clear and remote start this

thing it's going to sound

[Music]

[Music]

insane

[Music]

all righty guys so no luck remote

starting this thing we still got a check

engine light but I believe that's from

some sort of thing that needs to get

reset by the dealership so we'll worry

about that later but we went ahead and

moved on to swapping out the steering

wheel for an Aza carbon fiber steering

wheel and this sucker is absolutely

insane it's got the carbon fiber paddle

shifters absolutely beautiful I just

love the feel of that right there and it

just looks super clean on this interior

but you know what guys that's actually

going to be a wrap for today's video
