I've loved that color since I first saw it. Something you might wanna check into. I saw a set of C5 rims either powdercoated or just painted to match a car of that color. Those Z06 rims might look sharp like that, although the silver contrast looks good too.

How old are you if you dont mind me asking?? You look young. I am a young guy as well. Its nice to see younger people in these cars. In my area is really sets off the older guys cause its like they waited their whole life for this car and then I pull up and they wont even look at me or wave. I chuckle but nice ride man. Great mods! Love the color! Never seen it before.

Did you buy the car already modded or did you do all that yourself??

Well heres the story on the car. I was basically made an offer i couldnt refuse. My dad had owned the car for 2 and half years and I was driving a perfect mint 1993 Lighting. Well i started to become partial to the vette. After graduation my dad agreed to let me take over payments and the cam way a graduation gift. The only money I have dumped into the car is payments (420) per month and like $100 on small things. I am asking for a spec 2 clutch for christmas also. HEHEHE I hope santa is good to me this year.
