Default My Vette

Hello all, I've been browsing on this forum ever since I got my '04, but never posted before. Got some great information/tips. I thought I'd finally post a thread and put up some pictures of my car.

I'm on deployment now so my car's sitting in storage all alone

All I've got done to it so far is TSP Long Tube's, DMH electric cutouts, and my sound system but I have a lot of plans for when I get back to the states.

Gettin ready for header install:





After the install:

Welcome to the Forum and I see it didn't take long for you to get bit by the dreaded "Mod Bug". From your posted location and you saying you are deployed I am guessing you are in the US NAVY. Let me just say THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. again welcome...

Yes, I'm in the Navy, I'll be back stateside in May.

The Toyota frame is long gone... that thing was a sore sight on my car.

I'm planning on getting an intake and doing a h/c/i setup as soon as I get back so a tune is definitely on my to do list.
