would love to but my car would feel so inadequate without a snail under the hood next to yours and shant's.

my car is way more show than go. i would love to do a blower under there some day but i'll likely be an old man with a new c8 before that day ever comes.

I'm friendly to other vettes lol it's Shant you have to worry about. I know a guy in town that's trying to get rid of a new/used A&A kit that he just bought a month ago and hasn't even opened the box yet. It's a v3-si kit same one I had back when I was making 715hp. It's at Shants house if your interested. Also new/used is the kit that Andy puts together it's a new kit with a used head unit. Shant and me could help you hook it up and you just pay to get it tuned. Either way let's get some pics of these fine looking corvettes and call it a day.

I don't have TPE's. I have had two sets of L5's. Each time I test fit myself by just removing the outermost taillights and squeezin my fat forearm in there to assemble or disassemble the brackets holding the quarter to the bumper cap. I "assume" it may have been removed because your guy just wanted to make sure he got it done right. I don't remember if you posted that they have done fenders on a C5 before?. So just encase you need to remove anything in the future you know it can be done with bumper intact and vehicle sitting on the ground..

Now hurry up and post some done pics

Sooooooo sexy!!!! (The fenders fool the fenders) Can't wait to see it in person this week looking at the pics you sent me through my phone doesn't do it justice. Man Troy your vette is just something else so fresh and so clean. Jason's is like that to and speaking of hey Jason like Troy said I have a brand new kit that carries the warranty sitting at my house. We could do it in a weekend man let us know, Troy was wrecking some fools with that v3 and don't let him fool you thinking he doesn't like a little vette on vette kill action...
