Default Hello and some pics

Well, I finally joined the club and bought my first Corvette 8 days ago. I got an '02 Quicksilver Z06 and it is bone stock. I washed her earlier today and took a couple of pics.

I took the pics inside my garage so they're not the best pics, but here they are:







So far I've installed the hood seal, flush taillight kit, and I had the lower rear bumper painted a semi-gloss black.

This car is awesome!

Mike G.

Thanks!

Out of curiousity, how do you find out when your car was "born"? Do I have to buy a build sheet?

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Stuart, you're C5 is awesome! Did you tint the turn signals or are those covers? ACI chin spoiler?
