Default Big Brown Just Stopped by
My friendly UPS driver was just here and dropped off my new ACI front splitter. Can wait to get it on, but I will have to wait until Friday to do the first test fit and then start the prep work prior to painting. I also hope to have the engine bling delivered early next week as well as install the GS fender strips I have had for well over a month.





More pictures to follow as I get it prepped.

The tires are Falken 275/40 ZR18 and the wheels are Factory Reproduction. I ordered them through the Corvette Garage.

I'd love to be able to put one of those on my car. But, I know that it would just get destroyed since my car is so low. The nose just clears curbs now.
