I don't know anyone around here that has done the wire mod. I don't have the heart too... I know a guy that is good at wiring though...cough OH2LE cough. Maybe we can try it on his car first!

What is the "wire mod"?
<Puts on his **** b@stard hat> And as personal preference I'd get 18/18 rims on your car if possible. The C5 and C6 both have smaller radius wheel openings in the front compared to the rear to fit the 17/18 or 18/19 combo. F-bodies don't and it makes the front wheels look tiny to me.

I've done it. I did it by using a hole saw to make a hole large enough for the connector to fit through. You can also disassemble the wires from the connector and use a smaller hole. Picked up a grommet of the correct size off the Internet so the wires won't scrape on the base metal hole. Very easy to do - took a couple of hours one Sat. afternoon from start to finish. It's been done for a couple of years with no issues.

If anybody in the area needs their nitrous bottles filled I can fill them for $3 a pound. I use the freezer method so I would need your bottle for a few hours, but you can watch me weight the bottle before and after so you know you are getting what you paid for
I have one full mother bottle and will fill bottles until it is empty then I'm done because I do not make any money on it.
If you're interested send me a pm and I will shoot you my contact info.

Andy I saw you on 80 today, Took me a second to realize it was you. I tried to chase you down to check out the new wheels but 85 is a little higher then i wanted to turn for awhile with the 4.10's. lol its like 3800-4000rpm in overdrive. looked good for the second i saw them. Do they have a polished lip??
