This years been a good year....
Happy Turkey day....
So so far this year..Ive changed jobs..left a company that I had worked for foa nearly 20years..( 19years 2 weeks 5 days exactly) and started a job with a new company for more bucks (way over due) Bought the vette.....who can argue with that! Sold the thats I had built to a monster handling machine...I miss my Camaro, I loved that car..but this vette thing.....
The day I brought her home... I had the privelage to drive her 700 mmiles home from northern Calif to Sandy Ego..a great how-do-you-do....
Anyway..Ive had the mod'ing bug lately and had a chance to go out this am to take some shots or all the additions
This last week has been the week of many mod's
New wheels..CCW SP500 18's all around 10.5 up fromt and 11's out and wrapped them is a set of Vredestein Sessanta tires ..follwed by a set of Caraviaggio seats....
Next to come will be a ACI rear Deck spoiler and a set of Caraviaggio canards..an Ill be done..or at least out of money!
Thanks for all the advice Ive gotten on this site and I hope everyone finds themselves bloated on turkey and fixin's and sitting on the couch watching football

I agree with the others at this point. I like the way the car sets now. I really like the wheels. They do the car justice. IMO it is hard to beat the Z06 wheel on the Z cars. I guess I would have to see the body mods in order to really pass judgement on them.

Hmmm... the SP500s don't have that same POP] that they do as 19's... they look chunkier and curvier if that makes any sense.
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and leave the mods alone... just some nice wheels and enjoy the car.
