P.S. You know that state trooper was dying to catch us today. The way he went flying past us, being that we really weren't speeding that much..70 in a 55), I knew he would be up the parkway a few miles ahead. When I passed him he was aiming the lazer at me...and I looked at the hud and was doing 73. He looked a little 
that we weren't doing 90....too bad

He had that lazer locked right on us. They were all over, yesterday. Ran into 2 more on The Meadowbrook. It was bad enough, dodging those geese, all over the road. Have fun at Barrett Jackson. At least I don't have worry about more Mods on your car. for a week
Maybe I can catch up.
Have a Great Trip!

The interior pieces look great!
IMHO the spears would look better in body color, the vent grilles in black, and lose the badge. The chrome look for Vettes went out with the C3.
The execution is excellent, however.

Love it! And yes, the chrome spears go especially well with the chrome wheels! And I really love the dash. I bet it brightens up the interior and something I'm thinking about doing.
What's involved in doing the chrome wheel replacements anyways? I'm not a mechanic so I can't exactly just take the tires off myself. Is there a way to have the chrome wheels shipped to a local body shop to be installed when they arrive?

.DID you have to take off the wheels to install the Screens or can leave them on ?

It's funny that some say the chrome styling on the vettes went out with the C3, when that is exactly the front fender look GM was going for on this car...retro is fine, and this does look retro. Other than the dash, I like the Z51 badging best. Not too much, just enough.
Remember, opinions and *******s...we all got'em. I'm going a totally different way with mine, but variety (and whatever you love) is great.
