New Here! Need Help!
Hello Corvette Forum! First time here, my name is Christian and I own a 1986 Corvette.
I have a couple questions for now as im trying to get this beauty to run as a daily driver.
First off i've done a tune up changed leaking parts (i.e Clutch Slave) and the car pretty much runs, all thats missing is tranny oil and a nice Battery, but my secondary concern after starting the car is cosmetics. I don't know any good sites to make it look pretty. Things im looking for.
HID Head Lamps
License L.E.D.S
Interior L.E.D.S
Nice Rims under 1k
For now thats all so any advice would help. (I've done my research and not happy with its results)
Thanks!

You can find it all on eBay Motors.
You might try a posting in the Parts For Sale/Wanted here on the Forum to find some nice wheels. You will probably need to go to a 17" wheel in order to find a better selection though.
Look for posts here by Agent86 and Crewzin as they both have nice looking 86s.

I replaced all my interior lamps with LEDs from Super Bright LEDs. They have a variety of colors if you want to change that (I stuck with white):

I haven't had good luck with changing exterior lamps to LEDs. They generally don't have anywhere near the brightness and the inherent "spotlight beam" nature of LEDs prevents a good spread of light.
