^ 6LE seat covers.

- Just installed their vent rings.
- Redlines shift boot cover to match the seats.

Can also see my custom radio display, although the flashed washed out the color. It's actually a pretty cool looking wallpaper!

^I like the wallpaper.

Ordered a small phoenix decal to put onto the panel between the tail lights, the lack of birds on my car finally got the best of me. Also my cold air intake should be here Wednesday so I'll put it on when changing the serpentine belt this weekend.

Bought a set of Corvette 17x9.5 sawblades with practically new B.F. Goodrich Sport Comp-2 tires since I needed new tires anyway, and it didn't cost any more than a new set of tires for the stock 16x8's. Hard to beat that.

Got her out of storage last week but did a quick bucket wash and minimal detailing today and snapped a few pics.

Finished up this today:

Engine seems happier with it over the lame excuse for a factory intake, thought about doing the LS1 lid but wasn't keen on cutting into the car so this is the next best solution.

Original 16x8 next to the "new to me" 17x9.5, amazing what another 1.5" can do

Then a lot of Dremel bits and time later since '93-96 have larger rear hubs and GM didn't bother to rectify it until '97...

I like the sawblades, I think they go better with the early 4th gen than they do on the C4 even. Sometime in the near future I'm going to polish out the lips, modify/replace the center caps, and paint the centers in either anthracite or black.

Damn man, she still looks awesome. Cool to see long standing members still owning these old road veterans. Mine sits resting most of the time with the occasional weekend cruise.

-Put new intake gaskets on in hope of fixing my issue (didn't)
-Installed strut tower brace
-Installed UMI sub frame connectors.

Next weekend will hopefully be the start of a long detailing process.

Damn thing threw 0141 & 0161 codes the other day, so I
removed both rear 02 sensors and plugged, then tuned them out.


- Now it's fixed!

Decal arrived and put it on before the clouds opened up, of course it took some time since I'm super OCD and had to get it perfectly centered.


For some reason it's really hard to capture the colour, but I went out into the rain just for you guys.
