Here is the link that will walk you through posting pictures.

It is really a simple process. All you need to do is get an account (no Fee) to a site that will host your pictures. Most use Photobucket.
Thanks again for the help. Piece of cake....with your help of course.

Corsa looks and sounds good. With LG headers and X we went back to Ti mods. Got a bit loud before. Never any drone though.
I was never a convertible guy but the price was right and now it has really grown on me. Just added a couple pics.

Corsa did a lot of R&D into theirs to delete any drone. I got a set of Corsa Indy's w/the Pro series tips (spread out tips) that look like brand new that I will either use on my next one or will sell. Trouble is the cost of shipping. They're not as light as Z06 ti's. But they do look good. The latest tiger shark tips are my favorite (all 4 side by side in the middle).

I got my vette (first one in almost 30 yrs) last May and these people on the forum are the most knowledgeable and kind I've ever run across and believe me I needed all the help I could get. It's good to know I came to the right place. Welcome in and I like your car too.

I'm exploring a Vert for my future but will probably not drop the top. I do like the looks of em. Had many before w/drop tops always.

It was a hard decision between the Pro Series and the Tiger Shark Tips. I really like both of them and in the end I flipped a coin. Either way I figure they will look and sound better than stock.

Everything I did to my C4 was learned here on the forum, and I did plenty.

Everything I will do to my C5 will be learned here as well. already took my dash apart to install an ipod cable with instructions from here.

Welcome. But you never said what your name was in your introduction.

Mike,

You'll get a nice head start enjoying your vette way ahead of me. Stay safe and be careful where you park the vette if you have to drive it to work. My agency didn't permit us to take our cars home after shift. I've been out since 04 which gives me more time to drive my vette of course.

Thanks brother. We have a very secure Headquarters but I am still nervous sometimes parking it there. I'm thinking about getting a POS commuter but I enjoy driving the Vette so much I can't pry my fingers off of the steering wheel.
