Default Let the Modness begin: My Corvette!

Figured since I am getting myself established I should start a thread for my car. I'm sure everyone, er most of you nuts on here regularly like myself know Nicole, so I want to have my own thread to document and post as I go along with my endeavours .

Here's Nicole:

And here is my first mod. 893 Foglight Bulbs!



Installed one to show discrepancy to stock.


And here is what I just received today!! My leather interior stuff from Redlinegoods.com! Awesome vendor and VERY prompt about the order. Actually received order before expected.



And just incase you have never seen a foreign stamp.


I will attempt to install the boots this weekend. Looks a bit tedious through the instruction, but I don't have much of a social life so this should make for a good weekend event .

I'll update when installed.

Nice mods. Redline is first rate. I am very happy with mine.

Removing the shift **** gives some people trouble. I use a narrow nose vise grip to prevent contact with the stock leather **** and to eliminate the risk of any damage. With the vise grip firmly in place, use the flat side of a metal hammer and keep a steady rythm of tapping against the elbow of the vise grip and the demon key will come right out as you continue to pull. Let the vibration loosen the wedged metal demon key.

Be extra careful not to break the plastic ring holding the shift boot in place when removing it from the console and when removing the boot from the plastic ring.

Good luck with the install.

It's kinda obvious that your social life sucks when you need to name your car NICOLE! Good luck in the future with a real person!

I have been meaning to buy new fog light bulbs. Are those a direct replacement? I thought the number was 885/50W?

Yes they are direct replacement plug and play. However these are 38watts and as you stated the 885s are 50, so you may want to consider those.

Thanks for the info. Now I see where it says 38 watts on your package.
I'm surprised to see so much of a difference in your pic.
