Yes, go with the black wheels. No, a cold air setup won't give you 40 more horsepower. Use monofilament fishing line to remove the bulbs in the map lights when you go to LEDs. GS or Z06 is your call. At least an '08 to get the LS3 engine and other upgrades. No salvage titles. Zaino or Rejex, both are good -- Adams is better. Right, tons of brake dust. Service ABS? Bummer. Lost you fob, damn! Wave and pictures would be appreciated. Oh, hell yeah you can take a Camaro, but not that one. Don't forget to post a pic of your girlfriend, and if you don't have one, you'll have one soon. Carbon fiber is sexy. Did you say chrome? Ah, jeez . . .

There's no story too long for the forum.

Default Long Story

Dean,

Bring on the long story, you're killing us. If you holding out on a C7 purchase, were gonna be pissed. Not about a C7, but that you'd ever trade that Carlise Blue GS.

Greg

You guys are too funny. I was going to ask about a forum member I was thinking of buying some wheels from, just to see if anyone had done business with them and to see what their experience was. I decided to delete the thread, but didn't see how, so I just said never mind.
I'm not buying a C7, don't want one. And yes I'm hanging onto my GS. Only thing I would give it up for would be a Carlisle Blue ZR1! Since they only made 11 of them, doubt I will find one. I saw a Jetstream Blue one that really tempted me...lol. Anyway, sponsor is 365 Autosports. I have seen people who have posted with their rims and they looked great. I'm looking for something different and they sell custom Rennen wheels. So thinking about it very seriously. Hate that there is a long wait due to being made to order. So that's it...

ps - wheels would be brushed aluminum with clear coat.

If you don't delete your thread within the first minute or so after you create it, only a moderator or administrator can delete it. They will delete it if you ask them to.

Just click on the little red triangle below your user name and tell them what you want. When you click the SEND button, it sends the message and a link to the thread to forum staff.
