Default Stage One complete!

Well, I just picked up my 2002 Yellow Z06 from the bodyshop. The previous Owner's wife had keyed it. While it was there I had the wing painted and also added a ACP rear tail section and painted it satin black C5R style. I also painted the top of the wing yellow and the bottom satin black shile leaving the sides carbon fiber. I have a new carbon fiber hood on it's way and i plan on clearcoating the center. My new wheels from CCW are here in the garage but until the snow melts there is no sense in putting them on. If anyone is more computer illiterate than I and want to post the pics, email me and I will send them to you. Gary

Is that "previous owner's wife" or "previous owner's ex-wife." I know which it would be in my case, but just checking. :D

Congrats! The car sounds terrific but can't figure out where you posted the photos. My work keeps me in and out of the house but I'd be happy to post them for you here in this thread if you email me with them. :yesnod:

mmmm,

I'll be honest here, (as I always am):

With that wing on the car I don't blame her one bit. :U

But keep in mind that is just my opinion!
