Looking good Mike! Your blue calipers are about the same color I'm going with. They should really stand out behind those black wheels.

That's what I figured, and they look great. I decided to paint instead of powdercoat this time around. I've spent enough money over the past few months and still haven't installed half of what I've bought.

I'll be paying this off for a while, hehe. Then back to engine mods

Well, had I known anyone would have ever wanted that crap stock junk that GM puts on these coupes I would have kept it and gave it to you. I told Joshua to trash it as fast as he could when I put the headers and new Xpipe on a couple years ago. Sorry about that

You might check with Joshua, "Resurrection Motor Sport", and tell him I said you could have my old stuff, he may have a set laying around, he tends to keep some things. I will email you his info.

I think I will get a set of those for the rear, they are good looking tires! I wish they had them in run flats

Matter of fact, check with LG to see if they have any laying around. You can check with any of the local speed shops or muffler shops to see what they have removed from a stock C5.
