Cool whoa!! nice conversion!!

01 C2 Cab

The only discrepancy i notice about the body work is the center brake light on the soft-top lid. The turbo cab covers are a bit shorter, and the turbo decklid is overall longer... so it looks like the shortened the rear quarter panels a bit to compensate for the longer top top cover.. also they must have also shaved off a bit of the decklid, it doesn't quite match up, but overall, pretty good work. They should have just replaced the conv cover too......

How about leather interior also as the turbo has leather interior and PCM2, by the time your done you could have bought a used real turbo cab...

Car is listed as an automatic, and shows a stick in the pics.

Car is listed as 'other' title. It was a salvage wreck that was rebuilt.

No thanks.

The conversion is cool but if it's that extensive, then you can bet it was in a nice accident, especially with the Other title

Need to de-badge that cockeyed Turbo badge. Other than that, it looks pretty good. It would be great for a Poser.

Check out the niffty airbox work to clear the spoiler elevation mechanism and the crappy deck fan mount complete with obstructed air duct. A real POS, would be a money pit.

yeah that turbo script is a major insult. That airbox mod looks pretty cool, I get it's from a turbo cab?

That's a pretty crappy conversion if you ask me. It's not really a conversion at all! They just took a wrecked car and put different body panels on it.

The airbox mod is scary. How does it get enough air?!?!??!

And the Turbo script? Well, all I've got to say is that I'm not surprised it's there based on whoever did this car STINKS!

Turbo script = blah
Chrome wheels = blah
Front bumper color/clearcoat = blah

This is just personal, but I wouldn't have used the scoops, just a nice clean line "a la" C4S.
