Default Give It Forward: Three New C5 FREEBIES

Hello, all!

For nine wonderful years, I had an excellent 2004 MN6 coupe. Last fall, the wife and I became empty nesters, and we decided more cruising in the Vette was in order. She is no longer familiar with the art of stick shifting, so we traded the C5 coupe for a C6 Grand Sport ragtop with auto trans. So far, it's also been a superb car.

I have three brand new C5 accessories that I want to give away. ALL THREE WILL GO TO THE SAME FORUM MEMBER.

I will also ship the items free of charge to any of the 48 states.

MILAMBER IS THE WINNER!! GIVEAWAY IS OVER.

Here are the items:



Chrome exhaust plate for C5 with stock exhaust set-up. Attached with 3M tape (included).




Battery den cover from Mid America Designs. Simple press in fit.




C5 Fangs from forum vendor Sac City Corvettes. These offer excellent protection and look absolutely OEM!. This was my back-up set in case I got sloppy and gouged up the set already on my C5. Easy bolt on installation -- no gluing for the C5. Instructions included.

That's it! Go for it and good luck!

Well you have now, officer! If I'm ever driving a little too fast in VA, maybe you'll cut me some slack (LOL)! I see that you have a gorgeous arrest-me-red C5.

You know what they say, "All Corvettes are red, the rest are just mistakes." Your coupe looks better than new -- wow!

I love the torch red and she's holding her age well (98) but yours aren't anything to sneeze at. The silver looks great and I'd like to see more of the black.
