Do you plan on upgrading the stock braking system? Some nice wilwood brakes or baer with eradispeeds would look great behind those rims.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL

Email Whistler if you are inquiring about a CF hood...He makes them along with CF interior pieces. I will get some pics if I head over to OSW on Sunday. I have a few more ideas for my car, lol.

That is not a body kit... those are the little "vents" off the vette molded onto the front fascia.

i love the targa top. all in all how much id it cost to do the project?

one question: when you take the roof off, have you made provisions to put it inside the car or do you just leave it at home?

I did it all myself with help from a few friends. It still cost me a few grand with all the paint, clear, and carbon fiber.

There's a clear lens behind the C5 brake ducts, they are now my turn signals. I'm making some chrome grills for the big holes in the nose and for the turn signal/ brake ducts. I'll post some more pics when it's really done.

The roof I put on top of the folded down back seat. It fits perfect. If I had some back seat passengers the roof would have to stay on, or at home, but that hasn't happened yet.

It rained yesterday... other than that the roof has been out for the last two weeks- Orlando in December is great!!!

He put in subframes and welded the 2 peices of metal that will run parallel to the sub frames. You will know what it is when you get under there and look.
