Best bang for the buck PERIOD. I could care less that its a Corvette, to me it's just a kick *** car that does everything well and looks right.

And this black one looks outstanding! Really makes me want flared fenders...

That thang looks bitching!

The black wheels look good on a black Vette. Not crazy about them on any other colored Vette however.

I haven't decided which would be the best route for highway hunting/ drag strip ET chasing.

Procharger seems easy

Turbo would be more unique.

Thanks! I ordered from Corvettemods if you check their exterior / front section you will find it.. Be prepared to drop 500.00 on it though lol.

I'm not sure how to get them to stay in one spot! I tightened the heck out of that left side and she always slides around after going WOT. lol.

They are the SLP's so if anyone has a bracket idea let me know.

I have been craving that same front lip for a while now. I am wondering if it hurts engine temps at speed, though. It has no front vent, and blocks air from hitting the center air dam under the car. Keep us posted if you notice any temp increases on the road...

My car had the SLPs on it when I bought it and they were crooked too; it's a VERY common problem with those pipes. Try a Google search; there are a couple guys who welded rod across the top of the pipes or something to keep them level with one another to rid themselves of the issue
