Ride Probation I like that! And thats very very true! You do have to slightly adjust your driving style to work with the newly discovered automotive style It looks wonderful and now every time he posts a picture he won't have the entire C5 board telling him he needs to lower it, it's almost worth it just for that

Great work guys!

I Hardly ever Post on the C5 General section anymore as there is a bunch of Nonsense on there with a small group of people to match!
When the car is finished with the Carravagio, IForged Aeros, Tires and a few items from Mr Pipe Dream I will post a few pics!

Lets wait until you get your NEW FOOSE WHEELS!
Then we can Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I will be calling to see where the heck my wheels are tomorrow, since it seems the Polisher loves them and doesnt want me to have them .
I will let you know tomorrow night!

Get rid of those mudflaps. Why is your grass so yellow looking? JK, thanks again for the help. If you ever need help with yours let me know, or if you guys wanna go for a cruise or anything. I really wanna lower mine now.

It looks like the OLD guy did all the work and you just held the camera. JK

Looks awesome. Now maybe I can get Ed to lower my C6. I hear a couple of martinis may be inline.

Looks great John

Earlier in this thread you stated that once you get your new wheels and spoiler, you will be done.

Are you sure you will be DONE??? I think probably NOT!!
