Got some L5 rear splash guards, but have NOT had time to install yet...
I might also get around to installing a coolant bypass tube & 160 stat I've had for 5 years & have not installed....

I decided on going with the heads first before SC. Just got the project underway today which means I have pretty much decided to keep this car long term. Probably have new numbers and video to share in a couple weeks. It's going to be one bad NA C5 Vert!

Her name is the Blue Angel based on the C5's jet looks, the fact that the car is Navy blue and tribute to service folks and the Navy Town where I have lived most of my life, Jax, FL.
My internet message forum handle was JaxEagle on some other boards before I came to CF so I just kept the handle. I wonder if I can change it?

Trying to decide if I want to install the Low Beam HID's that I ordered for Christmas. Seems like the more I read about the pro's and con's the more I'm leaning toward not installing them in my OEM light assemblies and returning them. Folks either love them or hate them. Not sure what to do.

I'm actually starting my perfomance mods this year.
Today i had a big grin when the UPS guy brought my SLP Loudmouth Catback.
going to concentrate on the full exhaust first.
I'm in no rush to go crazy with mods but i'm sure it will get together in a timely matter.
