Thanks for the compliments guys.My car is far from done but I can't help and smile to see how far it came in only a year. Next up is my headers,tune, and then the side skirts.

Congrats on you new baby! Looks great, especially love vettes in black or red, but do love them all. I have the same car, except for wheels, blk 99 vert 6m 30K, and must say you can't beat cruising, top down, in the wind and sun, listening to a good exhaust note, with some great tunes going! Life can be good!! Good luck and best wishes.

Looks amazing! I have the same wheel/tire set up about to go on mine with the corvette customz carbon fenders. What did you do for the offset fitment?

Good top down weather is here in east Texas and I've got new Beach Boys and Eagles CDs to go along with that B&B exhaust, life is good! Best wishes and enjoy!

What damper settings you running on your Stance coilovers?

I have 6 clicks away from hardest setting front and back.

Also.. don't forget the little mods like.. remote bleeder!
