Default 20 years!

It's been a very long time since I've posted. I just wanted to post pictures of the updates I recently did - new wheels, wide rear fenders, and updated smoked lights and blackout out kits. This was a little gift to myself to celebrate owning this car for 20 years! Special thanks to JB Corvette Specialists for the body work! They did an amazing job!

Looks great! Luv the stance. How low are you? Are you on stock bolts, coilovers, or something else?

Looks great! I love the rear fenders. You fit the rims and tires perfectly.

Thanks! That was my biggest concern - trying to make sure the tires/wheels fit like I wanted them to. I'm very happy with how they came out.
