Very nice, now get rid of that skyscraper on the right rear fender and put one of those 10" antennas on so you can go under bridges without scraping... One of the first things I did to mine.

Haha a shorty antenna, wheels, and tint are all on my list of stuff to do asap. It gets freakin hot in there with leather and no tint.

Those antennas are a question mark for sure. I have a shorty. When I went on the HRPT I put my sky scraper back on so I could get better reception.

No change whatsoever, so I put the shorty back on. I don't get terrible reception but it's not the greatest either. Must be the HU.

Well seeing another 99 blackie made me feel the need to post mine. Just got done cutting down some off the clear coat scratches and buffed her out. She's had a rough life, needed new front bumper, lower support, engine, and clutch. Hope she's still cruising down the road in another 12 years. Then it'll be time for that antique tag.

Here is my 2000 FRC. I don't have a best picture yet. Because I'm not happy with any of my pics yet and also I keep changing stuff on my car.

So here are 2 pics of it at the moment. I'll probably keep changing it though.

Definitely...they will top it off. I also like your dual tips. I always thought vettes needed quads but your's look great. Those 3.5"? I've got to get something on mine, after the cam install I started having problems with my quads sucking air at idle and creating a high pitched pop. As for now I'm dumped just before the bumper.

Thanks man. I think the Black C6Z wheels would look sick too. I have Borla Stingers on the car right now, they have 4" tips. I've always loved Quad Tips but the Duals look different in a good way especially in person.

Any idea what cam you're going to end up going with? I plan to start and finish a full H/C/I/E and suspension plus some additional exterior mods no later than the end of August. That is something I am looking forward to .

Oh I see, interesting build for your Vette. What kind of numbers did it put down?

I bet it's pretty loud being dumped
