Thanks for the replies I have been having a blast the last couple of days. With many more to come! I can't seem to stop wiping it down, cleaning the glass, polishing the rims, etc..... must be some kind of sickness.

On the Vararam question, I don't know the difference. Maybe someone could enlighten me. I do know that there are two ducts that run to the openings on the front of the car behind the added Z06 screens.

Also, Is there any way to turn on the small front fog lights behind the Z06 screens without turning on the headlights??

Thanks Ya'll !!

Great looking Vette!! The waves are one of the nicest aspects of ownership. There's a bond there that only we understand. My friends in my F-Body club never quite get it, and tease me when they ride with me and I get "the wave".

If you turn the headlights stalk one click (without flipping up the lights) and hit the foglight switch they should come on. Here's a list of tidbits you might find helpful: http://www.jakelatham.com/C5/misc/secrets.shtml
