Great looking Vette. Very clean too. Never understood how anyone could keep an engine bay so spotless.

Stil a great looking Vette, no doubt!!

Very, very nice! He definitely had a end game theme in mind when he started modding.

Dumb question of the day...What's the best way to keep the pop-up lights open/up like that during a show? I also have ACA HIDs and would like to keep them open while the car is off. Simply hand crank them individually? If so, any special tricks to make sure they realign and close all the way once you're ready to start the engine?

Thanks guys!! You guys just made my day
It was nice meeting you James. Thanks for the recognition. Your C5Z looks stunning in person!!! One of my favorites for sure! It's always cool meeting forum members in person. I seriously need to make a trip down to Texas for a show or two.

Thanks MSG!! I just raised them manually, by turning the **** on the headlight motors. To lower them back down, turn the headlights on and then back off again.

Beautiful car!

You can also turn the lights on, then pull out fuse 21 and 22 (i believe those are the right ones for the headlight motors) and they will stay up. Then pop the fuse back in and be on your way
