and freakin love it.....!


99 C5 Magnetic Red Metallic A4 74k miles. only mods are a hidden sub enclosure, Z06 grilles, tints, and one of those clear bras. i bought it un seen off ebay and the guy delivered it last night and i was shocked it was actually in really good shape, much better then i expected. it does need a tensioner pulley and a belt which i ordered from napa this morning. hopefully itll get plates this week :)

Nice....sight unseen would be scary though, unless you got a screaming deal.

Can't believe it's not black or white though. :)

while i do love the TA with a passion, and in my eyes it is the top of the Fbody scale, i always wanted a red corvette, and after only driving it around the block a few times u can see and feel the quality differance and it is night and day!

lol it will stay red

the clear bra is the 3M kind, its been on the car for approx 5 years and needs to be changed. the price on them has come way down since i remember first hearing about them. the bumper is $107 and the hood headlights and mirrors kit is $98
