Default How How How dee

Hello all. I have been a lurker here for almost a year. I got my first Vet about 2 weeks ago. 2004 torch red vert. with a black int. WOW what a car. I have learned ALOT here over the last year just reading along, and using the search function.

I realy enjoy reading about all the mods you folks have done with your rides. I will be doing my first mod within the next month. I ordered the parts today. It's a mod I have never seen anyone mention here or anywhere for that matter.

I have ordered BSM in black to put on my torch red car. IMO it will look real nice and provide door protection as well as dress the car up. Then again it may just make it look like what you "Vet people" call a ricer?

Time will tell.........

Congrats on your new ride. I have only seen white BSM on a Torch red Vette and it didn't look right (in my opinion). Post pics when you get the black ones on.

The nice thing about modding & customizing a Vette is that it only has to satisfy the owner.

I've never seen BSM's of a different color on a Vette. Keep us posted.

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats! On the vert, vert, vert!

I once saw a Mil Yellow C5 with black BSMs on the freeway. I did a serious double-take on that one! Very strange to see!

Enjoy!

I once had a Mustang (insert joke here) that was red with a black body molding down the side. IMO it was sharp, but then again two tone Mustangs are very common. I am looking forward to how this will turn out. The good thing is, if it doesn't work it would be a cheap thing to fix.

Who knows maybe I'll get black door handles, gas cap, mirrors and head light covers. Damn.......I would have the ONLY lady bug Vet in the world.

Well maybe not............

boatboatboat is the name I use at all www forums. Long story...........

Yes, I was a boater, more of a fisherman. I tried for 2 years to make it on the B.A.S.S. circuit and failed. Fast boats were a pasion when I was younger.
