Thanks but, I am actually thinking about replacing them with some all black perforated leather. Not really enjoying the two tone interior idea anymore.

lookin' good. I like how the coupes have the removable top option - makes driving on a nice day more enjoyable.

Yeah until you get challenged on the highway then it becomes a more windy experience LOL. But hey it's much easier to remove than was my old Supras targa.

You would of hated the C4 corvettes.. You had to have a torx bit and a rachet to remove it.. I kept a black and decker elec. screw driver in the car to remove it... What a pain in the ass.

That's basically the same thing I had to use with the Supra. Yeah it was work, just glad technology changed and the C5 doesn't feel like it will fall apart with the targa off.

I have not dynoed the thing yet but the car has no engine performance mods... yet. Sans the B&B Catback. So on this forum I will definitely be the slowest car LOL. It's my DD so I gotta work around my schedule to find time to mod the engine. However I do have a really good hookup at LGMotorsports for whatever I need.

I got you beat for the slowest car on here man! ;) Now if someone would just take the spot from me in return. ;)

Very nice vette man. Just always be sure that top is latched right. A buddy of mine had a 00 Millenium Yellow like that and lost the top on the hwy as he forgot to be sure it was locked down tight. Only happens once, because it is an expensive lesson. LOL

I used to go to LG for all my stuff on my Formula. Lou always took good care of me. Been a long time since I have been there, I am sure all the guys I used to know are probably gone.

Great looking vette man! Love the wheels.

Thanks guys, I will try to post up some pics tonight. I just recently started going to LGM. As it turns out the supervisor at my last job and good friend currently works there. It's too bad he had to sell his 08Vette though. It would eat Z06s easily with the cam and stuff he had.

Titanium 325 I guess we can be the pace cars LOL.

I used to have strobes (my old 99 Formula's taillights) to where we could really make that work. LOL

Where did you get the leather on the door handles? Someone in the Dallas area doing that? I need to do some leather work on mine.

No, I ordered them online from a vendor on Corvetteforum.com I'm not sure if this is the exact name(can't remember), but I am sure it was redlinegoods.com or something to that effect:)

I will check them out. There is a leather shop in Garland I may look into. The dealer sent my car there for a small repair and they did a good job.

What had to be repaired? Any pics by chance?

There was a nickel size wear in the side bolster. It looked like it had been rubbed down past the color, but no hole. They covered it under warranty. Really all they did was dye it back it bet. It looks ok. Could not even tell unless I point it out.
