Default 2024 will be awesome

Happy new year everyone. Been reading the forum for a while and I guess I’m ready to jump in and start the mods on my Corvette. I see a lot of information offered in here. You guys are awesome and can’t wait to get started. I want to thank everybody for the
support that you give newbies and experts alike.

First day after getting the windows tented

Darkened out to turn signal.

Added a Kenwood head unit along with the amp and 12 inch speaker this thing rocks. I have to turn it down a bit because it’ll give this old man a headache.

New rims and tires. Went with Michelin pilot sport for 4s. These things grip like crazy.

Really a tight fit very hard to get the covers on the new padding but eventually I got it. Don’t look too bad if I say so myself :-)


My jeep Wrangler, that I spent way too much money on, but I love my Jeep
