Awesome looking 84!! I'm totally down for a meet!! I'm 20 minutes east of Cedar Point, and about an hour from Summit. Somewhere in between would be awesome, maybe lunch or dinner or something. When the weather gets nicer, I am willing to host something at my place. I have property and a shooting range and plenty of parking. We can toss some stuff on the grill and I have all of the tools and then some needed for repairs if anyone needs anything done!

I think mine fit it well. Very 80s and depending on the light you sometimes can't even see them.

Mine was air brushed before the clear. Couldn't remove it if I tried.
if its brush on you can buff them off. I did it on my truck.

The only one that should do that is the one on the front of the intake.

Hello there Radioway,
Having a Corvette while young sure is fun isn't it? They are a fun habit and a great lifestyle!
I saw above where you mention changing the CTS's and the O2 sensor. Be sure to change the O2 sensor as they age very poorly. Older O2's have a tendency to be lazy and not react as fast a new O2 can. This is one very important sensor and it is supposed to be replaced every 50 k miles anyway.
Good Luck and enjoy your Corvette!

Thank you! It has been fun thus far. This fall im putting new heads, cam, intake, and exhaust on as well. Its been a fun project and i cant wait to dive in deeper. I got the car for next to nothing so i dont mind throwing a little money at it

I've always done hand tight and then a little past snug. Maybe 15 lb ft?
