Default Got the HRE's for the C6

A while back I replied to a post about HRE's and said I was waiting on a set for a C6 and a few asked for photos.


I ordered them about a month and a half ago and was hoping to have them in time for the Detroit Autorama. Well, they showed up the day before the show luckily! Here's a pic of them on the car. Now it just needs to be lowered.



I'll get some better pics after the car gets back from the show.

That's actually a shop car and I'll get to drive it as well as some of the other company vehicles to shows, events, and the strip this summer. I wish it was mine.. I have a C5 Vert with h/c.

Thank you for the compliments...

Yeah, it's pretty fun...

The last car was even more fun though. It made 664rwhp, but we sold it on eBay and got the C6. More mods to come soon for it! Here's a pic



and this is the other shop toy is:





Can you tell they like black

Exactly. Only thing missing is a drop like in the photoshop.
I'm going to try and see if we can lower it today...
