I'm new here, kinda switched over from another hobby of mine and group of forums into what seems to be a completely different world but with the same idea of modifying in mind. Anyways I had been looking into vettes for a few months and found one on ebay i couldn't pass up so I decided to go after it because of the price the guy wanted plus it has a few things I was planning on doing already completed.

Here's some info about it...
1999 61k miles
z06 rims
Borla exhaust (Claimed to be $800)
Hypertech programmer
K&N filter

I plan on replacing the rims with the 18"-19" c6 z06 rims blacked out, completely blacking out the entire vette, LED halo tail light mod, maybe the black projector headlight housings.

Thanks, i had a tough time finding one in my price range and because it has 2 small cracks on the front that are hardly noticeable and not too expensive to fix he let it go for an awesome price.

Nice looking car. You're going to love it every day. I bought mine off the auction sight as well and had the similar amount of mileage. The mod bug bites and bites hard. So watch out...

Yeah well good things there's not much I can see modding on a vette... my last vehicle I had the Mod bug huge and paid well over what I bought the vehicle for in mods... so this time will be different! Maybe...
