Default First Vette
Just picked up my new vette about a month ago. Wanted a E-blue and the other one I was looking at I guess the guy decided to keep so this was really the only other one with low miles that was in good condition and targa so thought I would share it with fellow enthusiasts

I actually just added slp axle back. Didn't really want the fake z06 vents but the car came with it, but don't have anything planned other than the rest of the exhaust and intake and other basics but thanks guys for the welcome!
