Default Corbeau A4's getting delivered

I've got a set of these getting delivered today or tomorrow. Install is the weekend of 1/24 at the mod party at my house. We've got a bunch of other stuff going on also.

Replace lifters with Morel bar type
PFADT tranny brace
Install a Dewitts rad w/ oil cooler. That will be laid down using the ECS turbo stuff.
Get rid of the airbridge and install a 4 inch tube from the ECS turbo setup and shroud to hide the air filter.
May install the 100mm MAF or wait for the FAST L92/LS3 intake

Hey Rick,

Come on over on the 24th and check them out in person. It's really not that far to Haymarket, VA. PM me your email and I'll send you a copy of the invoice.

Those should make a nice mod for your Vette. Looks like you have a nice list of additional projects too. You have a really nice Vette there. Be sure and show us the installed pics!

Hey Joe,

The Caravaggio's are beautiful. I just don't think Mrs. WKMCD would put up with anymore than the A4's. I'm not even sure she'll put up with these on trips. Rick may come down on the 24th. Come on down it's not that far to Haymarket, VA

I might take a cruise up next weekend. Probably won't have the Vette together so I'll have to take the truck instead. I would love to see how the A4's feel in a C5. I'll let you know next week.

To be honest, I can't wait to see how they feel also. Come on up.

Great info - thanks.

Those are the best picks of the leather I've seen. I think I have to leave early now to get home and see if they've come.

I love my A4's. Well, my A4. My wife didn't like them, so I put the passenger seat back to stock.

OOOPS! I'm really hoping Mrs. WKMCD can live with them. If not, I'll get her one of those little inflatable rings to sit on - Nice.

CRAP!!! I just checked with Fedex tracking. They need an adult signature to deliver and no one is home. I called my retired neighbor and asked him to keep an eye out for the truck. Hopefully he will see/hear it. I asked Fedex not to put it on the truck tomorrow and they can't gaurentee that. I live in a gated community and no one is going to screw with them if they leave them on the front porch.

This sucks!
