Thank you Patches !!
Just wanted to thank my new friend Ed for all the help yesterday. i flew out here to LA to pick up a 2004 CE Coupe that i bought 3 months ago. i'm driving it home to NH but was concerned with the headlites. i e-mailed Ed a couple months ago - he picked up all the stuff i needed and yesterday installed the ACA style lites with HIDS. What an awesome job he did and we had a great day talking about our passion - Corvettes
Thanks again Ed and your lovely wife Carol for all the help

Our pleasure, Bob. We truly enjoyed the visit from you and Charlie. Mod days are so much more fun with fellow enthusiasts. I know you'll appreciate the ACA's on your trip back to NH - Carole would have stopped driving her C5 at night long ago if I hadn't installed the ACA's.
Have a safe, great trip home and God Bless!
Ed
P.S. A few pics from Saturday.

Sweet ride Bob! I see you got projector HIDs this time... SWEET! You're going to love them.
We missed you at the Vette show last Sunday. I ran into Bob and Deb S. there, and saw his new ride.

Nice! I love this community. It's seriously why I got the vette. I was looking at G35's and all the owners on their forums seemed like immature kids. I looked at a couple other cars and there was just no real feel of community. But with the Corvettes the brotherhood is the best and can't be matched in the same way with other vehicles I think. Others that come close are Jeeps and Harley Davidsons.
Anyway, your new vette looks great. Enjoy the trip.

Hi Ed and all
Just got in today from my X-country trip in the new car - what an awesome ride. Didn't get to stay out West as long as originally planned ( had to skip the Pacific Coast hiway & Yosemite - due to some problems back home ) But I got to see many of the National Parks on the way. The car ran great and the new headlites were awesome - Thanks again ED !!!!

Great story. Thanks for sharing.
ACAs are great! I'm sure you will enjoy them for a long time. I also suggest Switchback LED corners and Halo LED rear lights to add to your visibility.
Ed - Great scenery! Love the new neighborhood! Did you get your new garage floor installed yet? I know you got the lift re-built...

Bob,
PM'ed you some info. Take care of that new beauty and enjoy her! Again, it was a fun day and a pleasure spending time with you and your cousin. You're both always welcome at the Bonstead.
God bless.
Al,
The new floor tiles arrived today. Stem wall painting should be done this weekend and the tiles will most likely go down the next.
