That's an east coast thing. So glad we don't have to deal with that here. Hell we don't even have emissions testing anymore. Statewide. Had to deal with that crap for 25 years prior until last year.
Jealous of the no emissions. My 99 is not so registered right now because it cooked an O2 wire on the header and I've yet to fix it. I keep saying "this weekend" and they keep ripping by.
Some imperfections on the corners but this was some really really cheap vinyl, we're talking a third the cost of proper 3M, but just wanted to experiment for my first time. Happy enough with it to give me an idea of how my car will look. I'm going to do the halo bar this weekend as well.
Stopped by the body shop on my way home this morning. Mechanical is done, just needs fluids and an alignment, then they'll finish putting it back together for final cut and buff. Crossing my fingers I'll have it back by the end of the month.
Had them install my dewitts radiator and fan kit while the front end was off. Sorry for the out of focus pic but it focused on the sway bar.

Looking good so far Mark! Is your rear wheel actually on top of that other car!?
It's not, just looks like it is. Pretty far away actually. Thanks.

Thank you too, I'm sure hoping it will be better.

The weather is starting to get really decent now. I told them the shows are popping up again, left a subtle hint. See if they catch it or not. Been a long time for sure, had no idea it would take this long. I really miss it.
On a much happier note, I'm going to be retired as of November 15th. I will have everyday a Saturday so I'll be able to spend good quality time with it. Getting it back around that time will be perfect timing.
Got any pics of the finished install? What are your impressions of them?
I'm digging them. You can't even tell they're tinted when the lights are on.
One thing is that due to the tigershark design, I can't see the bottom drl but the smaller LED side strip still works for the turn signal. (along with my switchback strip)
Congrats on the retirement Mark!!!
I wish I could be there for the party.
Thanks, Larry. I am more nervous then excited at the moment. Not sure what I’m doing to do with myself yet. Gonna be a life altering event for sure. As for the party, not sure if that will happen either. No family here with us other then my youngest daughter. Gonna be small if there is one. Be cool to have some Corvette brothers and sisters at someplace and time though.

Grapes, no matter what form they may come in, are good for you…..enjoy all you can.

CONGRATS!! That's really awesome. I still have a long way to go. Guess you'll have plenty of time to edit your video of all the work that's been done.
