Yeah, I wish things moved a little faster than they have but I have been lucky as I baby sit my twin brothers two corvette's for him.

He is in the midst of selling both of them to buy an FRC that he is going to make into a track car.

I'm more interested in handling and top speed.

Your vette looks like it's coming along very well. Most CF members either love body kit modifications or hate them.

Looks like yours will be ready just in time for the spring can't wait to see the finished pictures. Post up more in progress pictures when you get some as I'm living vicariously through other member’s mods until I get my vette back.

That would kill me not to have my car for that long. I am thrilled. We will be taking both cars to the Cruise in 8 and to Carlisle this year. I don't remember seeing that car at Carlisle---very sharp. I love the body kits and I love the wide body kits but thought I would just go with a little instead of alot..

I hope they get your car done for March for you---it would be nice to see it at Carlisle. I bet it will look totally hott in the NBM--which was my color of choice but I bought Sebring Silver and am having it painted Charcoal grey metallic. Actually in the garage it looks real dark..

I'll post pics as long as you make sure I get to see yours too---it sounds like a nice ride will be had when they are finally done..

Yes I am but I bet not as excited as you are about that sweet new Caddy. That is one sharp ride Randy. I wish you and your wife all the luck with it--and as I have come to know you--you must continue to post pics of all the neat little mods you do to it--you just know you are gonna do them and I wouldn't expect anything different from you..

Not a lot of NVB blue coupes around, mostly convertibles and I am not a convertible fan. While they look nice it's noisy inside and the require a lot of maintenance.

I always liked the silver and spiral grey vette colors, but I had my mine set on the navy blue for years and when the opportunity came knocking I jumped on it.

The subtle body kits look nice and sometimes I wish I went down that road instead of the one I am on, but it's too late now. I had to buy special (Custom CCW) rims and off-sets to fit under the new body panels so I am committed to this style for a while.

I sometimes wish I did the Tiger Shark Kit with RK Sport side skirts.

Oh well, live and learn.

I will definately post pics when my baby is done as I will be so happy to get her back.

AJG is sticking with his NBM---very sharp color---it was my first choice but I bought a Sebring Silver and I am changing colors. it will now be charcoal metallic. It looked awful dark to me but I was inside the garage---I hop eit lightens up a bit in the light but if not I will still be happy with it---it is what I chose after all..And believe you me---it was a VERY hard choice..
