Some old pictures... C5 brake dust FTW
« on: 28 January 2011, 20:17:50 »
These are some old pics of the car when I took a trip to Michigan... some 1000mi later the front wheels were dark grey color and usually they are the same color as the car...
Brakes are Corvette C5 Carbon Metallic compound.







And here is the car sitting in its glory on the summer wheels..

This summer I hope I can get some help from one of you guys that lives in Germany, UK or Poland...

I want to get the remaining of that kit, meaning the sides and the rear but some of the companies wont ship to the US...

So the idea would be for one of you to buy the kit and ship it to me... for which of course I will pay for, and I will throw in something like a set of GTO brakes or some cash for the favor..

Thats not my ride mate  ;D ;D but i do agree with you i love the rims on this guys ride.  I was just showing you the body kit which is front lip spoiler rear bumper spoiler and side skirts.  Thinking about it the front and rear bumper skirts mite not fit yours but the sides will. :y

Only i'm not sure that the rear bumper spoiler will fit yours but then again i have seen some of the stuff you have done on your motor and i'm sure you will figure it out. 8-)

Yes thats the exact thing, sides and rear do fit my car, only thing different is the plate opening is narrower so I will have to trim it somewhat to make it fit... no biggie!

As always, great pics of one sweet Catera!

Hmmm...that looks like the westbound I 94 Watervilet rest area...if I grab coffee in Kalamazoo that's about where I have to stop... :D

Best,

Marvin
