What a difference a few years makes
I took my Torch Red '97 home three years ago on August 10, 2002. I had been browsing the forum for some time at that point. I never imagined I'd give in to the mod bug....Hah. Here are a few before and after shots. These are far from all of them but man has this been a blast. I waited a long time to own Corvette. What a thrill and worth every penny. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

That's the difference from 1.3 megapixels to my current 5 megapixel digital.

Sweetness....looks cool
I just bought a red C5 coupe last september and I am going through the same fun doing mods, however some of them have been maint issues, headlight motor gear, winshield wiper short, etc. However it is all worth it. I just put on some C6 chrome rims and some Goodyear GSD3's. Killer look!
Yours looks awesome!!!!
Great job.
