car looks amazing...

 

Dr Fantastic....

 

Thanks man.

Not that far......

 

i think you need more carbon fiber

 

I'll be honest, I went back and forth on getting these as I'm generally not a fan of lighting mods. I was thinking of the safety of LED taillights and the split second quicker onset of braking/lighting for all the jerks that seem to love to tailgate.

1st step was to do the job right and get resisters on each of the 4 lights installed to prevent "hyper-flash."


Here is a side-by-side with the lights on during the day (left new lights, right old). It's amazing, you cant even tell the stocks on the right are on in comparison.


Final, lights on during the day...


A little darker out....


Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with the outcome. They came with a free set of LED license plate lights, but Im definitely NOT installing those.

 

looks good, but why not install the other LEDs?

you shouldnt have any trouble from law enforcement as newer luxury cars (even the newer fords) have LED type lighting for the license plate.

I do most of my driving at night, and ive never had an issue from the local PD

 

Thanks man. I was thinking of different trouble actually; I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. j/k I actually have one of the 2 license plate lights unplugged right now. On a serious note though, like I said, I'm not a huge fan of lighting mods and think I outgrew that phase in my life.

 

These will help to pull in the cougars even more.



I really like these because they look stock.

 

I'm undecided.

 

I'm 50/50 on them, they look good, but kinda remind of civic ricer lights

 

Hmmm, look stock to me.



I vote for the license plate lights. I think swapping the stock bulbs for white LEDs adds a lot of look without any rice.

 

It looks good.

 

I like them!

 

Look good .

 

looks good...

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Im definitely a fan of the relatively stock look. I'd have to be a jerk to rice out a vette, so I was trying to avoid that at all costs. They certainly stand out and add a little character, but not in a bad way. The added safety of an earlier warning of braking and turning was worth it alone. Should have come from the factory this way. I imagine the C7 will have a similar setup.

 

Do the license plate lights. That's not "rice" at all. They just look much better in LED. I did them on my 3G TL, my e60 M5, and they came stock as LED on my e93 335.

 

I don't think ull have any issues with the law.
I'd smoke them a little. About 50%. That would set it off right !!

 

I was thinking about that actually. Takes away from the stock look (which I'm a fan of), but definitely adds some character. Here is a vette in the same color with the same lights, tinted. What you think?

 

I really have to curtail my spending on this thing, it's getting out of hand. I really had no intention on getting new rims. Originally went in for the LG Pro Long Tube Headers and X-pipe, but was pointed to the new Matte Black rims that just came in. I couldn't help myself...

Here are some crappy shots with my iphone for now. One thing is certain, the LSx motor was meant to have the headers swapped out...big difference in sound/power.

 

You need to take somebody with you that will slap you any time you try to make in impulse buy.

I've never been a fan of black rims myself but to each his own.

 

love it with both tops down

 

Nice.

 

Nice..did you get a tune following the header install?

 

Love the headers/x-pipe...not really a fan of black wheels, though.

 

I've never really been a huge fan of black wheels either, but I do like them on your vette. Nice pick up!

@ Gfaze's comment

 

Hey guys! I bought some black wheels!

So, Imma take some piturez of dem at night in the dark. That way you can't even see what Im tryin ta brag about!!!



Black wheels on a red car....no.

 

That's where I come in

 

Thanks guys. There were 3 other Vette's waiting to get dyno tuned, so he just hooked mine up to his laptop and told me "that should give you at least 40 whp and 40 wtq." It definitely did. NwTSXmt, I definitely recommend swapping your headers and X-pipe and hook up a mild-to-wild remote switch to your dual mode exhaust. You will not regret this. The sounds alone (forget the power gains) when you goose the throttle are worth the price.

I think we BOTH stop each other from doing dumb stuff brosef

 

2K2-you're a bad boy. Your punishment is that you must bring your Corvette to my house-you cannot drive it for one month!

 

This.

Congrats though

 

no sounds clip no care

 

At least buy a nicer camera phone!

 

haha...i don't know about a month, but if your ever down in Tx, I'd definitely let you take her for a spin

What stinks is I modded the car and took a flight the next morning leaving the car behind. Once I get back, I'll shoot some good vids....

 

NwTSXmt, I was looking over my receipt and realized the wheels I got are repos of the 427 Vert' Centennial Edition Satin Black rims. The rims look pretty similar to those on your '13 Z06. Do you happen to know what rim package you got and what it says on your dealer sticker? You pay extra for those?

 

Definitely needs vids. I like the new wheels much more then the originals.

I am disappointed there is no picture of the receipt/invoice though... you're slipping...

 

How many cougars have you picked up since?

 

Nice exhaust. Not really a fan of black wheel on a red car but I won't pass final judgement till we can see the wheels in the daylight.

 

Where the hell have you been man? It's been awhile. You still talk to Emmanuel? Tell him I say hello.

Thanks. I will definitely get some better shots in the daytime with a real camera once I get back after the holidays. They look better in person than the crappy pics that I took show. I'll also shoot some vids for you guys. The new sound is glorious Anything you guys want to see in particular (ie. in car acceleration, outside revs, ect)?

 

That depends. How many do you think hang out behind the local Texaco?
