Thanks everyone

I'm starting to come around to the borla. When I bought my 01 SS it had a borla on it and I hated it so I bought a Corsa for that car and loved the Corsa. It seems the Borla on my vette sounds 100 times better on the vette than it did on my SS.

I don't have a whole lot planned for it at the moment. Probably just an intake, tune, and new shifter(I cannot stand the this factory shifter) for the time being, and fix a few little annoyances I've found so far

And tint would set off your color nicely

The 04Z Z16 polished wheels would look sharp. Had them on my TRZ that I sold http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2742395
