It was a low expense mod to keep the mind off winter

Well you complain about cold, not going outside to shoot pics, I offer an alternative and you say too hot. San Diego sounds like the best climate for you.

Thanks for your reply about the ECS mail order tune. Just picked up a set of LG pro series long tubes with cats and X pipe, used here on the forum. Looking forward to install and a tune.

It looks very well done. How much time would estimate it took you to repaint everything?

I have no idea,when you are retired time means little, I do so many things to the car during the winter, clean radiator, wheel wells, you get the idea

I use paint from here,custom made for your color car,and the spray cans work very well !!!!

The changes are awesome, very nice! I really like the black a lot better than the silver...just think how bad looking a set of black F14's and a black out kit would look with that.

You didn't understand I ordered chrome and got black and after I installed the black I liked them !!!!! Don't remember where I bought the decal (Corvette Central ???) but follow the instructions very carefully, some had the decal coming off, I did not after two summers and 17,000 miles !!!! Take the liner off the car and clean it the best you can(mine was not very dirty) air pressure or vacuum ???? then I painted mine with black fabric spray paint !!!

you can be justifiably proud of the results, plus it makes a the car a little better with a personal touch.

I don't get it why you don't stay inside and carve on the roof rafters for three months like everyone else.
