Default All new for Mods for Spring *PICS*

I have been working hard improving the vette for this summer. And spending hard too, thanks forum vendors.

New red/ebony interior, did it against the wives wishes, but I was right it looks great.

Added ZR1 splitter and side skirts.

thanks to Gene Culley for the ZR1 parts. DS Vette for the leather goodies, CCA for the racing pedals, and memberRobert@rsd for his door panels.

And that front splitter doesn't looked tacked on either. Overall, nicely done.

Looks good .... thats a nuts amount of money to pump into an 05 coupe ( could have bought a Z ) , but it looks really good .

And I dont say that often on this forum .

Only thing I would change is to lose the badges .

Very nice job with the mods you have done....I really like the interior "pop" you've added! The splitter and the skirts look like they were made for a silver car.....so, when are you going to add the red inserts on the seats???
