We installed everything in my garage and a friend of the family is a painter, he aligned everything and painted it all for me. If you need anything painted let me know i can hook you up with him. How far are you from St Louis?

no those are weeds that always come back in the spring, then i spray them and they go away.... they are real pretty though

Here are pics of some other stuff i did this winter.

Painted calipers and installed ceramic pads... i know i need new rotors


New seats


Blue LED's in the inteior and in the rear license plate also installed LED back up lights




HID fogs, lows and highs... clear corners with LED's and switchbacks Thanks JWmotoring


Damn i got the mod bug bad

Next up some custom LED upgrades, upgrade to the sound system, and a new power front license plate hanger.

I really like the look of the new hood, TS & the clear corners. Not such a big fan of the black rear fascia though. Anyway, sweet looking vette. Nice job with the mods.

That isn't a TS hood, but I'm still running my sale on those if you want one.

I bet you two Missouri boys didn't know I was born and raised in The Show Me State

Can't wait to visit next month.

Unfortinatly it isnt a TS hood, I got a good deal on this one. Ill have to look to see where i got it, i cant remember. I think they are a forum vendor.

OFallon?? we are real close you will have to come to some of our car shows this summer and join in on all the fun. Heck we are even the same age, not many of us younger vette guys around the STL (just kidding older guys) We are going to Columbia this weekend for the Mid Mo Corvette Cup.
