Mods done... for now. Pics!!!

I purchased this 98 about 5 months ago. Car was completely stock with 51k miles. I've since added a 3.42 diff, a Blackwing intake and re-programmed the shift points. Corsa Extream exhaust. New roters, pads and covers. I've just finished the interior and added C7 reproductions (19 front, 20 rear). Shes pretty much done for now. Got some other bills to pay!

My son would get a kick out of your pics, I have a 99 FRC and he has a new 370Z. C7 wheels look good. What size rubber have you got?

Looks nice. I would lose the bra, though. It'll move around enough to leave small scratches on the nose. They're kind of illogical, anyway.

lose the bra too it's kinda 80's 90's and makes your beautiful car look dated

I dig my bra to bro...lifts and separates. It's all about function for me..scratching, scuffing, hasn't been an issue. Plus I'd rather have scuffs than chips. I keep it clean and tight!
