Looks nice. 
You definately need a hood seal. Ebay for @ $15-20 delivered. A very wise investment. Do it soon, water is not good for the engine.

New Vette Owner.
Well I guess the user name doesn't fit anymore. I just picked up my C5 on monday.
I just wanted to say hey and share my new toy with all. I ended up buying an A4 even though I wanted a M6, but the car was already mildly modded so I just went for it since it seemed to be a good deal.
It's a 98 with 40,600 miles
-Borla exhaust
-SuperMaxx LT headers, Cats, and X pipe
-Some intake, if anyone can tell from the pics what brand it is I would appreciate it.
-Also has a BBK 80 mm throttle body
-And the previous owner said it has a z06 manifold, but I'm not sure how to verify this. So again if anyone can tell me what I should look for to figure out which manifold it is I would be thankful.
-White faced guages in the dash, and Z06 screens in the grill and sides.
I think thats pretty much it. The stock chrome wagon wheels won't last long, I think I will get some black w/polished lip z06 wheels.
Well here are some pictures
You can see the one flaw on the exterior in this picture. The drivers side fender has a scratch on it about 3-4 inches long, I am going to try and get it buffed out this weekend. It may need a small bit of touch up paint right on the fender well also.
And the reason I need to find a house with a bigger garage or some land so I can build a nice garage.
Audi TT that I am trying to sell, Focus is the DD, T100 is used for the rare times I need a truck, 99 Mercury Cougar was my first car that I got when I was 16 back in 1999. I will never get rid of her, just rolled over 100K a couple days ago. And of course the Vette is sitting in the garage awaiting the weekend where it will get the detail that it definitely needs...Clay bar here I come. Told the girlfriend that we will be working on the car for the better part of Saturday. She isn't thrilled.
Oh yeah I gave 19K for it, I think I got a pretty good price on it.
