That's a very nice lookin 88! I love the white on red color combo. Like others have said, the wheels are correct for that year. Chances are it's not a Z51 or Z52. The standard suspension cars had them. They do look nice in chrome! Drive that Vette and enjoy it! It'll put a smile on your face.

Looks like the car was cared for very nicely so it looks like you found yourself a nice vette.

Tonight i took it out for my first nighttime drive. I noticed that with the head lights on there is a small, dim light on the passenger side of the rear view mirror that stays on. Is this normal? Turning the map light on the drivers side of the mirror on and off doesnt do anything.

Cool pics, I love the look of the headlights popped up. I'm not sure about the mirror light. When I get home tomorrow night I'll check my mirror and see if it has the same thing if no one has responded by then.

Great looking car. I'm partial to white ones.

Is it me or do the wheels look like they should be on opposite sides of the car. They seem directional.
