I gotta say this car brings out the worst in me, in a good way that is... Getting back in the vette feels like driving a Honda now:omg: The car was sitting on the jack stands while I was building some stuff for it but after putting it back altogether, it started right up and went like a bat out of hell. Sad to see they do not build cars like this anymore... RIP Carroll:2tu:

Thank you. I hope it will stay this way for a month or two at most. I spent a few months building some of my own stuff to change the looks somewhat, I think it looks too plain actually so I tried to kick it up a notch, LOL.

Agree on the ground effects, though I'm not usually a fan.

Would suggest a "vert" wing on the back if you plan to run a front splitter that large. The rear end may get light at speed without one. :)

I'll try to pin the car down from underneath actually and with a lip spoiler on the trunk. I am not a great fan of drilling holes in the trunk lid.

Wait, this part is not done yet, LOL. I'll be doing this part as soon as I can get someone to finish the parts I built and collect some parts others are making for me.

That thing is CLEAN!
It is under cover in garage when it is not driven. I am actually glad it gave me no trouble starting up after sitting since November. I washed it once in July and just dust it off when needed.
