Wow! That looks amazing... Rick, your Vette is done up in all the right ways, from interior to exterior! I bet she stops on a dime now!!!!

Is there bubble wrap on your half-shafts?

Me either, what's "The Package"? If I want to take the spare tire carrier off, I drop the whole assembly...done.
Whatever, that's a nice polish job on the exhaust. You keep a clean machine

The e-brake is converted over to a C5/C6 hub style w/all GM hardware. Works great

dig the CF half shafts and the polish on the exh.

car is cleaner than well (anything I own!)

are you going up to wazoo on Sat? like to get a closer look.

I'm trying to put in a CF driveshaft

once I get some spare coin, the cf half shafts would be next in line

that is one totally beautiful car that goes as good as it shows

nice work, thanks for the pics

If you anyone is looking.. I just pulled the stock rotors and pads off my 4900 mile Z06. Parts look new. Save a few bucks if you need stock Z06 rotors and pads.

Still saving the Brothers money

I have C6 Zo6 Brakes on the front so I would love to do the rear now.

Does the wheel offset stay the same? I dont want to have to replace my FM5's.
