Another mod you can do that won't break the bank is lowering it on it's stock bolts. It'll give it a more agressive stance.

Lowering a Vette. You'll need a lift and a tall jack to compress the shocks so the bolts turn easier. There are step by step instructions somewhere, do a search on the Forum.
If you've got a local shop, and I stress, that works on Vette's. They should be able to do it in a couple of hours. Don't trust any shop. There's been too many Vette's dropped or damaged by improper lifting.

Would you mind if I ask what that tint costs? I do like it but it has really not been on my radar screen. Also, can anyone tell me when a tint becomes Illegal? That is probably different for many local municipalities.

OK uhhh I got my tint for 200 bucks that was the 2 sides and the rear dome...It would have been less but they charge a lil more with the rear window the dome makes it tougher(vette tax) Anyhow I think the darkest legal tint is 30% and I went the next darker 20%... I asked around and unless if you are darker than 20 should be no cop problems btw I am pretty certain limo is 5% and I dont have any problems seeing while I drive

The tint looks very good on the car.
