Yes sir that is the car. There is a bumper on the auction site I will probably buy and swap it out.

The car was local to me in Lexington SC which was great because usually cars cost more in this area.
I just posted a pic of the interior trying to post a video of the exhaust.
Don't have any pics of the engine bay right now, it has some pieces painted to match the body. But I need fuel rail covers.

It's funny when I read the list of things done to this car I kept saying I would have done that, and yeah that's something I want.

Ha I do the same and pull for Carolina. It's good for the state and It's good to see both teams doing so well right now.

One of the things that sold me on this car was the hood. I knew I would never bring myself to spend the money on one. But I love it so much.

Nice car. I didn't know C6 seats would fit a C5. May have to add this to my mod list!
