No problems here... actually that whole nut/axle thingy looks uncomfortable to me...

What exactly do I have that you would want? Your car is awesome as is.
I do have a radiator shroud you could purchase.

You can purchase them from GMPartsHouse which is a forum vendor. When I bought mine, they were for a Cavalier...the Corvette axel nut is made for all their cars, one nut fits all.

Yep... I still have the carbon shroud. Been thinking that I need to start a new thread with pics so I can sell it. Its been packed away in a box every since I put the painted 1 on my car. U need it? Make me an offer I cant refuse.......
What kind of wheels you getting? I'm sure they'll look great! Can't wait to see them.

More axle nut info:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...axle-nuts.html

Some misinformation scattered thru lots of axle nut threads.

So be sure your info is recent and from reliable sources.

And no thread is complete without pics...

A 33mm socket worked great for me. Got mine under $20 at O'Reillys. They let me test-fit the socket before I bought it. That is, IIRC some folks get a better fit with 32mm.

Interested in these as well.

Do you mind telling me where you're ordering your wheels?
