It has three switches on the side, as you probably can see. one for the neons, one for the running/ brake lights, and one for the reverse lights. It took forever to wire everything up... and yes, it is next to my bed and the gf hates it haha

You have a great attitude about the whole ordeal The bumper you redid is fantastic the pictures are great and what a great collectible you have. Here's to you, and to miles of smiles with your cleaned up ride.

Glad to hear it all worked out and no one was hurt.

Great wall decoration!

I have to admit it does make me feel bad and a little nervous to see the photos of the damage to your car though.

It could have been worst--I lost my Yellow 2000 in an accident, because the guy in front of me ran out of gas ! The guy behind him came into my lane to avoid hitting the moron who ran out of gas on one of NJ busyest highways. Turns out the guy who hit me had no insurance ! My baby was totalled but now I have an 03 Z06 that rocks--it's good to be back in a vette abiet a super vette once more !
