Yeah, the pictures. I'm not sure why but the forum software turns them at times when uploading from my Air.

Took advantage of the warm weather today and wiped down the vette. I really like the way the new rims look with the caliper and hubs painted black. It really helped clean up the exterior.

It's on my short list. Did you do yours? Is 1/2" to 3/4" actually enough to visually correct it using the stock bolts?

Stock size for me. I got them through Corvette Mods due to a couple of timely specials. They were shipped from the factory and packaged very well.

yeah the 3/4 or so should make it stance just great. You can go lower if you want but I would try that first I think it will be perfect lowered on the stock bolts with those wheels. Any go fast goodies in the future?

I'm going to give it a shot in the coming weeks. I've read the DIY in the tech section and have the process understood, just need to find some time with my brother to get it done.

No performance mods planned...yet. My wife would lol at the idea considering how slow I drive.

I wouldn't hear any of it over my Double D Mods system. I hear yeah, it does have an after market exhaust that sounds pretty good.
