First Corvette

Just bought my first Corvette! '99 with a wing from a firebird that was painted to match... Wasn't a huge fan at first but now I love it every time I see it! Headers and exhaust on the ~400 horse tune sound so nice. I'm near Green Bay, WI!

i love that wing on there, im amazed it fits as well as it does. i think the only thing i would change if it was mine would be the position of the exhaust tips mainly just switch sides and flip them over to accentuate the roundness of the back end of that generation, (my opinion) such a beautiful car! welcome to the club!
