New Beater.

I was sick of driving the rental car (Nissan Versa) while the V was getting repaired so I decided to buy a beater.

2005 Vette.

I plan to do a few things to visually improve it so stay tuned lol

Looks clean. Add more white with chrome. Nice color on the vette.

I like the black rim look. Tint the windows. Tint the emblems and lights and I should be good to go!

WTF do you do for a living?

PS, is that tint legal too? Tinted lights and windshield isn't very smart and cops are going to love you.

Watch your headlights the heat they throw off causes the lens to warp from the blackout.
