Default Full shots up..Serious mod

Well for me it is. I'm a pretty serious "keep it stock" kind of guy. I figure I'll want to replace the calipers after a while anyway.

Looks sharp. Yellow calipers is about the only other color of calipers (besides red) that I can tolerate. Looks even better with your yellow Vette.

Thanks,
I'll post a full shot later. It's been raining here in the northeast for several days and may be a couple of more before it lets up. Then I can get it out of the garage.

I am going to paint mine Gloss black, to match my car. Evie has nixed the red Z06 caliper look.

I secretly bought the Z06 rocker covers, and will swap them when she is out of the house. She never opens the hood, so may not notice.

I just bougth the cast aluminum gas & dead pedals with the C5 logo, from Tigershark. That is going to look better than stock.
