Default A before and after....

I bought this car in July and unfortunately am selling it now so I went out and did a quick photoshoot. Here are a couple of final pictures I took of the car before I put it up for sale.

This is how the car looked when I bought it a few months ago:

This isn't my first Corvette and won't be my last.

That is a Halltech Superbee.

Looks really nice now. What headlights are those, they seem to not have the frog eye look.

The car looks so much better now than it did when you first got it. Nice job with the makeover and too bad you're selling it.

It 'was' too riced up !
You rescued it, and made back into a beautiful car, once again.

Too bad you have to sell; but it looks as if somebody will get a great looking C5.

I want it! Too bad you are on the other side of the country. Looks incredible (I would do gunmetal wheels).

Nice work. She cleaned up well. The previous owner should have his vette club membership revoked.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The headlights are breathless performance flush mounts. I would not recommend them. They are overpriced and had poor fitment. They were body colored but look much better after a little plasti dip. The visibility with the lights is crap to.
