Default Third C5 Z in 4 years...

...Yes i know i need some help with my vette issues
First an 02,which i really liked,but sold to finance an 01 theft recovery,to build into as street/strip car(i don't know what i was thinking!)but i got the opportunity to trade the 01 unfinished (plus ca$h) for an 03(callaway 383,wilwoods,coilovers etc...)
Anyways,good to be back on the road!
Here are some pics...
Oh,what are the plastic "humps" inside b posts on the 03?Dominic

Those bumps are to keep your head / helmet from going between the seat and pillar.

That hood is......big. Keeping it?

I really like the MY Z06's. My bro had one, in fact he's a lot like you. Four Vette's in Four years.

Those CCW wheels on the MY vette just really pop.

BTW, did you get rims ?
