Above left: One of the first things we did was to paint the back
of the car black above the exhaust in order to better outline its
inherent style.
This picture is was taken during the summer of 2012.

that is pretty much stock condition.
Below is our unusual
modification...Very few street C5 Corvettes in the US have Momo
steering wheels. .
Jennifer executed the
installation with precision and attention to detail.
.
.
.
The Momo wheel has a very
nice feel to it. The wheel is wrapped in a comfortable suede like
material that enhances the ability to grip the wheel. The smaller
outer diameter provides a larger angular input to the steering with
the same arm motion, thus decreasing steering response time. The sense
of 'control' of the car is greatly enhanced in comparison to the OEM
steering wheel.
Here is a side view...
.
.
We have
modified the cooling system a little with a Ron Davis radiator.
Very Cool... .
And it is wise to use a set of wheels and tires good for the season of
use, for safety and performance, wet or dry.
Winter and Summer use..
