Both look very nice SB.

Have you put any more thought into lowering and aftermarket suspension? As time goes on, there's got to be some companies offering upgraded suspensions out there.

Thanks guys-I'm glad you like the updates. The Carbon Fiber center caps also arrived tonight-they look outstanding. Anil and I are going to try to put them on sometime-if the weather cooperates.


Ross, they are now making coilovers, but they are around $2,700......too much right now. I'm keeping an eye on them though!



Here's a crappy picture of the center caps.

Nope. Best part about Azine is that you can say what you want, within reason, without fear of repercussion.


Edit: shit you've been here since '04, you should know that by now.

Very nice car, from a guy who has never been particularly drawn to Vettes, but who can say no to a 7 speed manual and more than 400 horses?

^^^ Peter, you're right. I caught the bug, though.


Dave, no worries-this isn't for everyone! You're still on my Christmas List!

One more Carbon Fiber piece is coming. They sent me the wrong piece-it is the hood heat extractor.

I actually changed my ways with that button, and really only use it for "useful" posts...compliments on the whip get a thank you post.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong!

rockstar - how does red text work on just kidding...does that mean you're not kidding?

No you're not.

PS, how much of that is visible with hood closed? Looks sexy as a motherfucker.

I really am-weather here in KC has been tricky, at best.


The inside heat extractor does not show when the hood is closed.

Congrats on the Awesome pickup! The exhaust note on that thing.... My buddy has an Arctic White w/Kalahari Red Interior, same Z51 wheels. I got a chance to test drive, I have to give Chevy props for this Vette over the C6, it's night and day. AWESOME pickup man!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.


I have a real "calm" about this car now. Kind of like when I finished modding my Type S. Now REALLY time to enjoy it!

Thanks KK! I'll get better pics as soon as Winter vacates the premises. The installed center caps picture doesn't show the weave at all......(disappointed).

Had enough of this winter already, supposed to be around -40 C with the windchill tonight. Came back to this after being in the snow storm in Farmington CT.

Car looks amazing and I love coming back to your thread.

Love the new additions. Not sure what kind of weather you're getting down there but my car has been stuck in the garage since October. Been trying to sell it with no luck.
