yea buddy...

Tom, your vette looks awesome!

I really like the wheels and although Im not an especially a proponent of the rear spoiler... ..it is the spoiler to have and looks excellent with the mods on your vette...
..the spoiler I believe is especially good with the MCM style hood...it seems to offset the height of the hood...

Love the chin spoiler...

Well done! ...and very well thought out...
...uhhh I approve

I just saw the interior...the pics of the interior were a little slow loading...
the interior is beautiful and the engine ....

...

I like the look of the chrome hoops...

Thanks stuart, a lot of my ideas came from you, including the chin spoiler and the painting of the interior pieces to match the surface and exterior paint, even though I had to do it twice to get it right. Also, the rear wing was one of my first mods, before I had ever joined the forum and found out what the C5 community thought of rear spoliers (not sure if I would have done it or not, but I do like it on my car). Got tons of ideas, advice, and sources from you, GB Vette, Mike Mercury, and tons of great guys on the forum.

Next winter projects: Sound and lighting upgrades!
