Got a few more things done to the vette. Windows tinted, new console top plate, redline goods shiftboot and console cover. I still have the drilled and slotted rotors to go on, caliper paint kit, and lowering kit.. Let me know what you think so far....

The tint is 5% all around. The console is from the parts lady on ebay. It didn't match the stereo surround, so I ordered one of those but haven't put it on yet. I also painted the gear selector red instead of black for something a little different..

Oh snap, I never thought about doing that. I may have to steal that. It'll go perfect with my black/red interior. The car is looking great! I dig the LED third brake light too. You have any pics with the brakes on?

I'm so lazy, I've had them sitting in my garage for over a month and still haven't put them on. Maybe this weekend. So you like the gear selector painted red, that was a brain fart that I had.

Looks good! It'll look amazing once you lower it. I think that's my favorite mod to any C4...cuz they all need it!

Just as soon as Zeus helps me put the rotors on and lower the rear and paint the calipers, it will look good...

I think if you ever have your seats redone that same red stitching would really make a statement. Looking good.
