Well I had the car clean with some nice weather so I took some well needed pics... I am no photographer and I used my smart phone all pics are completely unaltered

Big thanks to Darren Blanchard and his crew at Ross Downing for doing all the work on my car

Where did your wheels go?

I was in a Les Schwab Saturday for wifey tires and couldn't help but notice the black wheel craze has changed their inventory.

A friend of mine did them he sanded down a set of stock covers. He painted my rear bumper frc's and brakes if you look close he did Jakes on my brakes too.

C5seats.com I met the owner in person at a corvette expo in tennessee and went over my seat order. He gave me a piece of paper and told me to pic which pieces I wanted in whatever colors. My dad and I did the install. I need to take a better pic of them
