Looking good didn't realize you got your car a couple months before I got mine in 2014. I need to wetsand my top and do the vinyl on the mirror triangles. Thanks for the inspiration!

Got to take her out for a quick cruise to get the rear suspension settled back down. Added some shots to show the rear poke with the 325 tires!
I will mount the fronts next chance I get to work on her!

Update 6/4/2023: I totally forgot years back I had started this thread so I will do my best to update in here like I had planned!
Went TPE style rear wide body from Corvette Creationz, and installed the extreme online store wing and front splitter! Also just completed the license plate filler mod this week.
Painted the calipers with POR15, painted the interior door handle rings and added some cheap carbon overlays.

Added an Optima Red Top, and also put on fresh NGK plugs, MSD Wires and heat sleeves. I also installed the SAC City Cool it V2 that I picked up from a forum member here!
Car still running super strong and fun, still have electrical gremlins where car doesn’t always start unless I cycle key and try again, so wondering if the BCM is going or an issue with the security system.
C5 ownership in a nutshell for me has been ton of electrical headaches, but also tons of joy driving it and working on it, now with my kids!

I just found your DADLIFE video, so now I know what spacers you used! I think I will use the thru hole spacers and longer studs when I do the TPE quarters. But, my Apex wheels seem to have very similar specs to your wheels, so I think 20mm will work well.

My buddy who runs his wrap/detail business touched up my wrap for the Summer!
Cut the rear letters to reveal the pewter metallic color, wrapped the tail light buckets and 3rd brake light trim in glossy carbon, and removed my side window tint and re tinted my whole car in 5%!
Also polished it up for me, great to have an amazing friend like him💪🏻
