Default New 08


Traded my 02 yesterday for a 08. Ordered first parts today. It didnt have HUD so will be getting that this week. Then need to hit the tint shop. In the future would like wider wheels, new brakes. And maybe some engine upgrades.

If you're adding a HUD, and plan on wider wheels & tires, brakes, engine mods, etc., why didn't you just look for a clean 2010 GS, with everything you wanted?

Get the Blue HUD to match the color of the car.

great color! congrats on your new ride. you made the right choice regardless of others opinions, great car at some great savings i'm sure. everyone feels we should get the gs, if thats the case why would they bother to make anything else. i also have the base 013 and i'll wind up doing mods that will make the car just as good as any other on the road. corvette that is.
