I have never been a high wing fan, but my buddy had one put on his HTC and now I'm rapidly changing my mind.

Congrats!

Really good color choices. I like 5VM kit compliments this color perfectly, makes it look like a supercar. You could have saved $1K buying this kit online, but in your situation it was good decision to go ahead with GM kit.

Very tasteful build overall!!!

What are the wheels?

Congratulations!


My first Corvette too. It should be obvious that I love it too with a small(er) exception.
