A few pics of my '89 red on red!

Just thought I'd post a few pics of my 89 for you guys. The first two are lowered about 1.5"s and the 2nd are about 3".

Very nice. I like the lowered stance. Still one of the best Corvette colors ever (second to Polo Green, of course

)....can't imagine ever wanting to change a red Corvette to anything else.

I'll bet you never drive it on any bumpy roads, do you? Seems that the front air dam might scrape even on the smallest road obstuctions. It does look really agressive though.

Are those deep dish wheels in the rear on the first two pics?

VEEERRRY nice!

I was wondering what mine would look like if lowered a bit. The roads around here gives me pause, however. Beautiful car!

We were almost twins before you started your last round of mods. Gotta love a red Corvette.

I definitely like the stance of your car now but you gotta watch those speed bumps!!

Nice red Vette... love those wheels (the second ones). I was considering those wheels myself... decided against them and bought some others... now wondering if I made the wrong choice!

Are they 17"s or 18"s?

They're 18X10.5 rears, and 17X9.5 fronts. C5 fittment, fits perfect
no spacers or rubbing!
