Default New C6 owner

Hello everyone,

I finally own a base model c6! and wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I'm Chris from Alabama and I've always been a huge fan of corvettes especially after the summer of 06 when I had the privilege of visiting the corvette factory & museum in bowling green ky.
Ive been a member of the forums for a while now, doing research on 6th generation corvettes just have never owned a corvette until now.

I was finally able to bring mine home a few weeks ago.
Its an '06 Lemans Blue and Ebony interior with 16,000 miles.

current modifications:
Smoked tail & side marker lights
Window tint
Kooks stainless long tube headers
Kooks stainless off road X-pipe
Modified SLP Power-Flo axle back
K&N carbon fiber intake
TSW nurburgring wheels 18" front & 19" in flat gunmetal
wrapped in BFG g-Force T/A KDW 2
Roof and hoop in flat black plasti-dip
Body color matched fuel rail covers


I'm proud to introduce Wiplsh version 3.0






Wiplsh next to Hwykng (heavily modified single turbo mk4 supra)
