I'm learning...I think?
After almost 3 years of moding here, and a little more there. I think it's time to call it a day. It's just going to get more expensive and I think I'm almost there with being happy.
I need to order the ZR front fenders from Corvettecreationz.com next January. Order two red stripes down the center of the car, I'm waiting for Vettestripes.com to get back to me on that.
On the maintainance side I need to R&R the A/C Compressor, and install a LS7 Clutch and slave.
Of course there will always be something to do as the months go by, but that's pretty much it with this awesome ride.
I'm getting my mind wrapped around the notion that I really don't need any more than 500hp...yes I want more...but. ($$$$$) too much.
I will want a C7.....and have pretty much decided that's my 58th birthday gift( 2 years from now) IF I'm still alive.
I have mellowed out the past couple of years(
) and try to keep below 100mph most of the time.
I'll still keep my C5 ( it is a great car) and maybe my C4(another great car) and just get the C7 if it doesn't look like a dog.

BTW - The new C7 teaser trailer shows an electronic tachometer! So you may want to hang onto that C4!

Many different types of individuals get a natural high doing the extracurricular activities that turn them on. Runners, weight lifters, body builders, collectors, sports fanatics...the list goes on and on.
We all know where your focus lies.
NICE TRY!!!

You have done a lot to the car and it looks great, but I have a feeling you are like a lot of us - something else will come along and there goes the mod money again.

Not sure what type of stripes youre after, but if you want something custom, i would suggest going to a place that does vinyl wraps and have them do whatever stripes you want.

I had my stripes custom made from vettestripes.com. They are a little wider and have the pin stripes. Actually my car is on their website. You can install them yourself, just take your time.
