Hey Guys!!

My name is Chris, im 24, and im from North Jersey right by NYC..
well ive wanted a corvette since i was a little kid and i finally got one..
its a Black 99 6spd coupe with black interior. its got 80k miles and i got an awesome deal on it.. the previous owner did a few cosmetic things that im not to fond of but the price was right, and ill make it my own.

Here's what it looks like now..


in the future i plan on painting the silver accent on the door, satin black. removing the vent fin things.. kinda like this


ill be getting the 9 piece blackout kit, exhaust(not sure which one yet),
and ill be buying these wheels off my buddy Paul(hes most likely a member on here, i just dont know his UN)..


well tell me what u think guys..


p.s. i sold my Supercharged 454ss pickup to get this vette so please reasure me that ill love my corvette just as much lol..

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your C5!! I'm sure you'll love the Vette as much as the truck just in a different way, for different reasons. Both are great vehicles but very different. Enjoy the car and the Forums.

Hey Chris welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your vette That was a good looking truck you had but you will love the vette. I have a truck as well as my vette but if I had to pick one, there is no question I'd take my vette. I'm glad I still have both because I love driving them both. Like Rick T said they are both good just different, but the vette is the best.
