Sure, it's all black and in excellent condition, including the HUD. The shifter lever is a shortend mod too. Oh, and I know it needs a vacume...



Thanks again for all the comments. I already know this is where I need to go for advice.

Counting the shifter, the aluminum gas pedal, and the floor mats I see in your pix, along with the other two mods mentioned earlier, you're up to five official mods already.

Very nice Vette.

Warm welcome - I'm a first-time owner myself (this month). They are a "special" car without a doubt. I know they are just metal, glass and fabric, but there seems to be mystical component in the works as well.

Beware of the add-on addiction....I understand there is no known cure as long as you own the Vette. I'm on my 10th fix($$) and I've only owned it about a month.


BTW, I think the floor mats give you an extra 5 hp.

You forgot the decal on the steering wheel. This thing is practically modded out....

Welcome to the Forum and congradulations, looks like a sweet ride.
