Default Before and After of my Vette

Two weeks ago, when I brought her home!....


So, here are the new pics after detailing it today.
I have added RUFF Racing wheels, lowered it on stock bolts, tint, painted calipers. Also things you can't see are Z06 shocks, metal endlinks, LS6 intake, and waiting on LT's w/ Xpipe to arrive. Also trying to find a 3.42 diff. for it.

I am liking it bro. Is your car an a4 ?? Is that why you want 3.42 gears ?? If so you must have the 2.73's.

What headers are you getting ?? If you didn't already order, what do you think about LG Pros, or Street series ??

lookin good man, hell just lowering the cars makes them look better. Like the red calipers and the tinted windows. Would like to get just my back window tinted.

Keep up the excellent work!

How much did those wheels cost you, if you don't mind me asking? I'd really like some of those.

Well, the order is processing through my paypal. LG's are just a little out of my price range!! Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I would rather save a little to spend elsewhere.

Nope, it has 3.15's. I just don't know if a stall will be enough for the 3.15's that's why I'm looking for a 3.42.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm liking this car so far! Right now the wifes likes to drive it to work, but I'm gonna change that with a heads/cam setup! Then she won't like it so much!!!

Dang.. most guys have the car for a few months before getting bit by the "mod bug". You don't waste any time dude.

It does look nice. The 3.42s are a real kick. Then you firm up the shifts (assuming its a A4 'cuz you said 'stall') and it pitches sideways when shifting.

I can't keep anything I own stock! I'm lookin forward to the 3.42's and a 3600 stall! Because right now, I always tell my buddies I'll just run them from a 65mph roll!
