Default Whose baby was this?

I have recently purchased a Blk/Blk A4, 01, Coupe. She was originally purchased (so says carfax) in Huston in 12/00, licensed there, she has been modded with Tiger Shark front end and hood, Blackwing induction, Headers, Corsa exhaust, blk window tinting, Chrome wheels, and a custom rear end with built in Spoiler. It was sold or traded in around April o4.

Later it was sold to a Dallas dealer who auctioned it off to my dealer where I found her as an answer to prayers.

I just want to know a little more about her. If you know who modded or could have modded or even better her original owner fill me in. The pic is my avatar. I'd like the guy to know it is okay cause someone did great work on her and had to love it. I sure do.

I posted in southwest but wanted to post here to in case the owner moved

Great ride with well thought out mods, hope you find the person who owned it. It'd be cool! Guy who bought my C4 tracked me down, it was neat!

Funny.....My C5 came from Texas too, only to be found by me at a dealer in Sedro-Wolley Washington, north of your hometown in Tacoma Washingon. We're south of you in Portland Oregon.

RedRacer's up in your neighborhood. Maybe we need a late summer CorvetteForum get together for N.W. OR and S.W. WA

Now THAT sounds like a great idea.

Let's talk about it in the Pacific Section.

...and it looks like it has an MCM hood too... Is it carbon fiber under that hood...

Someone definitely put a lot of $s in that beautiful vette...
