Default Pics of the New GF (new vette)



Hey guys.
If you didnt already know...i sold the True Fire Trans Am.
Got an AWESOME deal for it...couldnt pass it up...then i found this baby.

05 corvette-the most beautifulllll body style yet
14,250 miles at an unbeatable price.

i LOVE it.
not sure what the future mods are gonna be.
Since purchase iv tinted the windows and added SLP Loudmouths. Sounds great.
Custom paint MAYBE...iv had lots of ideas...and i prob wont be able to hold myself back.
hope you like.

Awesome black C6! I did the same thing back in May. Sold my WS6 and got a 08 Atomic Orange C6. Now just VEIL the headlights and foglights and put some laser jammers on the front and JTG all those cops with LIDAR.

Please do not ruin a Corvette with true fire flames. It just makes them look cheesy. If you do have to do that stuff, just keep it under the hood.

F-bodies get away with flames and stuff since they are closely tied to hotrods, Corvettes have more class.

Thats what I was thinking. I really cant see anyway that you could put the true fire on the vette and make it look good. Under the hood would be cool and maybe a few inserts in the interior but that is the farthest I would go with it.
