They wernt horrible before I started but you can see the drivers side is done and the passenger side is still dull.

If that works then lets see a picture of your vette getting suspension work done to it.

Suspension work, right?

This is my son when he first got the C5, doing shocks and sway bars as well as lowering it.

OK, next challenge: A picture of your vette launching at a dragstrip. Not staging, not winning, not a video and not on the street. Simply launching on the green with the front end up.
