bought her about a year and a half ago.....

1) couple of mechanical things
2) replaced all weatherstripping
3) complete paint job (stock color - Dark Blue Metallic)
4) replaced tires with EVO-Z 17x9.5 all around
5) replaced seats with new leather ZR-1 (Black w/Red Corvette in headrest) standard seats
6) added two JL Audio 6" speakers in doors, added amplifier in rear deck, installed two 6x9 tang band woofers in stock rear speaker mounts, and then had a fiberglass enclosure built to house two 3" eclipse speakers and cover the amp in the back lid (amp is between the two woofers)
7) bought new black w/double red stitching shift boot (haven't installed)
8) bought the four chrome replica bullit rims w/corvette center caps
9) installed decals (flame red "5.7L Tuned Port Injection") on side panel
10) installed decals (flame red cowling stripes down the hood)

She still leaks like nobody's business (still working that one)!
