Wow, what a change it has gone through starting life as a black coupe.

Nicely done...

I'm real happy with how everything turned out! I was a little concerned about a) how the black headlights would look and b) the Ebony and red interior. I think BOTH look awesome!

Tomorrow, the new front wheels and tires and alignment

Looks awesome. Are you going to leave the interior red and black or will it change?

BTW, like the flags on the front of the house.

Wow!! What a change!

Of course, your choice of body color is to be commended. And the Comp Gray wheels look awesome too.

I hope you'll bring it up to either the July 9th All Corvette Show @ Lee Johnson Chevy in Kirkland, WA, or the XXX All Corvette Show on Aug 14th. A little shameless plug. (I'm now President of the Corvette Marque Club of Seattle)

You car would be a great addition to either (or both!) shows. Let me know if your interested.

We were up for SIS last year (bummer, have to wait for next year!). You guys sure know how to throw a GREAT event!

We may be up for the XXX but not sure if we have something else going that weekend (so many shows, so little time!)

Sweet!! I like the red trim in the interior. When that color combo came out in the C5, I thought it was a pretty bold combo and it still looks nice.
