Default Finally a nice weekend got some mods done
Finally nice over here it was sunny and 70s out so after some mini golf with the wife decided to finally paint the rims and mount the nitrous bottle
Had to make a custom piece and carpet it and wedge in between the rear speakers to mount bottle to so no drilling in the floor.
Let me know what you guys think

Nice job mounting the nitrous bottle and you did a good job painting the wheels. They look great.

Another white Vette. Love it. White is an underappreciated color IMO.

I love yellow calipers! I think red is being way over used nowadays! Looks awesome with comp grey wheels and white!!!

Good job!
