I agree on that seat being very worn for a 45k car, My C5 has 75k on it and my seat doesn't even look near that one, but I would like to know what head unit he used and how he got it to fit in the bezel, I'm fairly certain that the car isn't painted in that blue but yet rather sprayed with plastidip....

on a side note, Corvette Warehouse had a nice 40K mile Lingenfelter C5Z for like 17.5k... I was looking for a friend of mine and the only reason he didn't buy it is it has/had Lambo doors..

might get Lucky, there was a member on here that was looking to sell his very low mile (20k) C5Z Lingenfelter Car for cheap, almost bought it myself before he bought it.

I have two F-bodies before my Vette...soon as I drove mine home this came across my thoughts "Why in the hell did I ever want another F-body??" I also get dirty looks daily and at least once a week I get asked "Daddy let you drive his car today?".......although I'm 28 I have a baby face and look about 19-20
