Congratulations!! Sweet looking ride for sure.

Z71? 4x4? just kidding.....looks like lowering will be a goal. It's easy depending how far down you want to go.

Be sure to start with these:



These paste on Buick-esque portholes look good stuck almost anywhere in various locations. I'll sell you a set for $60.

Nevermind, I thought I was in "off topic"

You've come to the right place with this forum.

Welcome.....

It's a wonderful ride!

Glad you asked, that is one of the reasons I bought this particular car. I like the clean look.
