Not bad. Air dam scrapes if you go too fast.

Mo, lowered on longer rears and removed the front bolts. The car is otherwise stock. I did the zip tie mod the other day. I have a Vararam on the way. Looks like I've also got a line on some LS6 heads for a good deal though. So if I get those, I'll get a cam, intake, and converter and do it all at once.

Wife and 'make' is the wrong answer sir. I am currently enjoying the perks of being 24 and single. Lol

looks good. rear looks lower than front...and I'm 24 with a wife that not only never complains about buying parts but also bought me a new motor for my bike as well as won't let me sell my car. she also told me I could buy a Vette or whatever if I could afford to pay for it.

I don't know why the rear looks lower in the pics, but it's not.

I would say no to the sticker, that looks like something that belongs on an RSX, not a Vette. Otherwise, car looks good, that is one of my top 3 fav color C5's, behind Electron and Nassua blues.

I love that sticker. But if it was anything other than our local site, I wouldn't put it on the car.

That sticker is a big "no" but the lowering job looks good. Have to admit that the red Camaro in your sig catches my eye more than the Vette.
