I bought them from Corvettes of Houston. They don't come like that I had to mod them by watching a YouTube video. The middle has a bunch of led lights that come on when you hit the brakes looks really good at night. Nice to meet you bubye.

Great looking car

Welcome aboard. I think most of the known problems with the C5 have been posted here at some time. Don't forget, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

LOL! I like C5s in any color except pink. And if ANGELIQUE is reading this, it's all you baby!

As for my title, you can change it when you pay to be a gold or silver member.

You've obviously got great taste in choosing an FRC, a Z06 as well as the color.

Welcome aboard!

Looks fantastic and welcome aboard!

Who's doing your install and Dyno tune for your A&A kit?

Are you gonna run methanol injection too?

Thanks,Matt
