A special thanks to a fellow CF member that checked out the car in advance since I had to travel 1100 miles to pick it up.

2005 Base
Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic
31,000 miles
Wide body rear quarter panels
Z06 spoiler
Z06-correct wheels (front are offset to fit under stock front fenders)

Future mods:
Cat-back exhaust
Z06 sway bars
Z51 brake upgrade
By teh way, That's a ZR-1 Spoiler. Great looking car!

Congrats, and don't forget to wave! Hats off to the forum member who checked it out for you. This site has its fair share of jackwads, but most of us are more than happy to help out. Enjoy that ride!

Beautiful! I found a similar car last April. 05 coupe with 28k. You might as well plan on the grin being permanent. Have fun with it.

Thanks, again, for checking out the car for me. I was in and out pretty quick and didn't get a chance to thank you in person. My wife loves this color and body mods, too!
