Well yesterday.... Gave my C5 a coat of Poorboys Red Natty and cut about .75" off the shifter. No pics until the weekend as I'm working tonight.

Drive it everyday back and forth to work. Pulled the trigger today, buying Z07 (Z06 Replicas with big brake clearance) Rims from Corvette Garage 18/19. Ordered Hankook V12's 275/35-18 and 305/30-19. Also, ordered Koni FSD's and Simulators to replace by F45's. Looking forward to getting rid of the Run Flats. Can't wait to get it all on and lower it a bit.

Whatever people use is the best wax they use. It's all subjective. I use Meguiras but that doesn't mean there aren't better products out there.

I'm going to try Liquid Glass the next time I wax mine. I've seen that stuff on a Z06 personally and I am stilled wowed by what I saw.

Mr Bill also uses it and it shows from his pictures.

Today I grinded all the rust off my hubs and painted them a gray color as I prepare to put on a set of Baer Eradispeeds this week

Got some bad news from the body shop yesterday. They mixed the paint wrong on my DEPO headlights and it shrunk/wrinkled during curing. Instead of sanding it down (bc of the clear polycarbonate lenses) they used some sort of stripper and ate up the lenses

I really hope they are fixable...

Installed a BCM, bypassed the steering column lock. Not too bad a job with the directions they supply. Hardest part was putting everything back together..
