I got my Corvette back about a month ago and the paint looks absolutely amazing. The paint matches perfect. If anyone on here lives in Ohio and wants to get bodywork done on their Corvette PM me and I'll give you information on the place I went to. I'd highly recommend them. I got the front bumper stripped and totally repainted. Besides the bumper the panel inbetween the hood and bumper was the worst part of my car and had a gouge about 4 inchs long. This was repainted also, The hood had tiger strips that were from Bowling Green when my Corvette was built believe it or not so they repainted this also and fixed all chips in the hood, the mouldings on both sides were totally repainted, and below the door mouldings were repainted too because there was a chip on both sides of the door. My car did not have the original license plate cover so I bought a oem GM license plate cover from ebay and they painted this too, The black paint that separates the lights in the bumper was redone in satin black instead of the factory glossy black and I think this looks much better this way! Anyway here she is!!!!!:

Check the rim size.If the po replaced the front wheels with another stock size rear wheels you are good.If you have smaller rims in the front that came from the factory,that would be too small for that size tire.The 95 came with a narrower tire in the front than the 275.I don't recall the size off hand but check the owners manual or maybe some forum members will chime in.By the way nice car especially for someone your age.

I put my new rims on a couple weeks ago, you guys that have swapped saw blades for A-Molds already know how much of a night and day difference this changes the whole look of the car, Here is a teaser until I get some good before and after pics:



I'm so happy with the look!
