Default Almost all questionable CF mods complete :D

Happy Sunday all! I thought I'd share a few things I've done to the vette since I got it a few months ago. Thanks to vetteshop for the tinted light covers and jw motoring for the Borla straight pipes. Tint and rear vinyl was at SML tint in Lewisville and lowering on stock bolts and exhaust install done by Quality Motorsports in Lewisville. I figured a US Army plate with my name on it would be the cherry on top.

Since I have blacked out tail lights, 5% tint on the rear glass, lowered on stock bolts and the most obnoxious exhaust imaginable I sure every single member of this forum will love it. Maybe I'll go for black wheels next for the complete list of flame ready mods...

Original photos of the car are here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...age-queen.html

Enjoy (maybe )! I know my wife and I will while we're cruising Dallas today!

Great looking car, but IMO, it is just fine with the high polished wheels.
