Wow very nice setup. Welcome to NAM; what H&R coilovers are you running? How do you like the ride, adjustability, etc.?

Ill be autocrossing for the first time at Limerock aug27th. As for the setup, i love my suspension. The coilovers are easy to adjust ride height and are set at a stiff but forgivable setting. I feel like i can turn the car on a dime. I almost bought the H&R RSS coilovers but i do drive this car everyday(for now) and didnt want to lose too much streetability.

sold myvette, got an MCS!

Hey, Dont get me wrong, I loved my vette and sold it fro $$ reasons, and my "consolation "car is a MCS, no one was more surprised than me when I drove the car and fell in love with the Coop! I look forward to have tons af fun motoring and meeting some local cooper folks. I will be lurking here to learn some stuff and discuss how much fun my 07' MCS is

Aloha and welcome to NAM.

Ever consider the blacked out look- dechromed?

Tape over the few remaining chrome trim you have-
Front lower bumper- can paint or cover with vinyl
headlight trim rings
chrome trim edge near beltline
Rear taillight trim- even the rear taillights themselves.
