That's a great "Mean Pic" ...

That's that hardest wiper fluid dispenser I've seen! If that doesn't get the bugs off, I don't know what will ... how many PSI?

Nice. Well, I have to agree with the "TruUndrtkr" here: That beautiful red C5 is gorgeous, and, lowered just right. How did you get your ride that low (no bolts , bushings, etc.)? Enjoy.

Ask Andy......

When I had it at A&A for gears and headers I had him lower it and install his framesaver combo too....I don't think it was anything to complicated though.....he only charged me $200 total for lowering and installing the framesaver combo......so I don't think he cut bushings or changed out bolts......not 100% sure though.
