Default Finally posting some pics
Here are some pics of my Spiral Gray 2004 Coupe.

I have installed the 2007 Z06 shifter and the HALO LED taillights so far. The HID headlights and come other cosmetic mods are in the garage and waiting for me to find time to install them.





Here are the LED taillights:



Please ignore the soccer mom mobile in the background here











Here is a pic with the Z06 shifter:

That is a double cup holder. My car is a daily driver so I need to be able to hold the 24 oz coffee I get on the way to work. It also happens to have the suction base of my gps sitting in it.

Yeah...I know...I was just poking fun...there use to be a chick on this forum that sold a MUCH nicer second cup holder dohickie...I dunno if she's still doing it but you should do a search for her. You would like her product, very stealthy and effective.
