Defiantly will be changing wheels and tire to take full advantage of the flared fenders.

Yes those wheels need to look less C5...but I bet y'all got a good deal and you'll bring that thing into 2018-19 nicely.

Drives great, it’s essentially a new build with only 120 miles on it, and there are a few small items to get sorted out.

The interior was done very nicely it’s all leather.

Actually only the drivers wiper is installed, the passenger side is in a box, the previous owner was having a problem getting them to work. That’s one of the things on my to do list.

Changed out the wheels last week, these look much better, and fill the wheel wells much better, the black chrome looks great with the dark blue.

I might consider some bullet side view mirrors - not sure; I'd have to hold them up to the car to see...

Looks great, and love what you did to the wheel replacement, looks lot cleaner and sharper.
