Thats exactly right. I figure put the FR zl1 replica 20s on it, like the concept hotwheels car... then keep the 21 assemblies in the basemen

I'm not even sure what rims I would go with. There are a lot of options out there! Might even go with 22's...who knows.

We struggled with to mod or not mod - but concluded as long as what we do is reversible, no harm, no foul. So it began.

Our L99 sounds like a little girl...which sucked cause its a bad a$$ car...so we are in process of dropping DOD, Livernois 2c cam, headers, cats & exhaust, CAI with some tuning and redoing engine cover and adding strut tower brace with some air brushing to help 'er pop. You only live once, the practical part is the investment will not return for us, but for the next owner 50 years from now, so enjoy it and live with no regrets while we can! Its why we work our a$$ off - got to enjoy it!

I know you're anxiously awaiting getting your vehicle back so I thought that I would give you a little teaser of a pretty awesome picture I snapped on the dyno!

as we know now there are only 1524 world wide and yes canada only got 32 coupes, 4 convertibles. i plan on keeping mine for a long time, so a this time it will remain the way it came. later on who knows!

Ever since you mentioned it on Saturday at the Corvette show, I've had the teaser idea in the back of my head. I had to do it! It will turn out to be an awesome photo when I'm done editing it! -Chris
