Default Cali Colour

The colour is unchanged....I had it colour matched to Cali 1's gas cap and then repainted the whole car....

In one of David's Ebay listings he said it was a 93 Porsche Blue.

It does look very special, and I'm getting a lot of compliments on the colour!

Bryan, they are Eagle 17" alloys. They don't bolt on...we are using adapters....bolted to the hub studs and which have five new wheel studs. They are available through most of the catalog guys.

The color is special and at night it definetly has a different shade to it. those wheel adapters are VB 2.25" billet spacers special cut for me back in 1999. The Eagle Alloy rims were off my 97 Z-28. Joe she really looks good. Next West-PAC around I'll stop by.

Wow! I really like the color. I always had a pretty good idea
that someone would be able to save her. Great work and
excellent looking Vette!!

That looks great! I remember the day when I saw the wreck pics. It was really sad looking car at that time, but it's great that it's back on the road! Good work jyounane!
