Another C5 Build Thread
First of, Just wanted to say im new to this thread and every single day I learn valuable information about C5/C6 Corvette. Thanks to all the forum members 
Also thank you for all the vendors and forum members that I did business with 
So on March 2012 I acquired one of my good friend C5. Car had some mods such as Pfadt Coilovers, Borla exhaust, Z06 functional brake ducts, HRE wheels, Breathless Intake, Euro Tailights, etc. I decided to build this car for street/track use. Its going to be a slow build
Sorry for the Iphone pics, trying to save up for a DSLR.
March
Mid March Wanted to do a full tune up
April some goodies
May
More pics to come

Had some free time at work yesterday, so I decided to clean up my exhaust and it turned out great. I also pulled out the old radiator shroud since it was cracked and replaced it with a new one. Unfortunately the one I got was painted blue so Im going to paint it black, including the breathless peformance intake.

Finally got my HRE wheels back from my friends shop a few weeks ago but didnt have time to post pics since ive been really busy at work. I got the wheels polished inside out, since I think it would look better I also decided to put brand new HRE centercaps, and got the new tires mounted . I also purchased a few things, tmps upgrade kit, C5 fangs, custom shorty antenna.
