Picked Up a New DD, It's VVVery Nice

[maroman88]

Well i havent bought anything since the TA in july '10, figured it was time for a new DD. Sooo i figured i want the best of both worlds, and found a black/black 2004 CTS-V. It needs a few little things to make it perfect and up to my standards but what fun would buying a perfect car be?? Shes got 81k miles, tints, rear muffler delete and a CAI. the wheels were dipped when i got it, and i peeled it and noticed 2 chrome and 2 painted black lol, contacted the PO, the other chrome ones were in his dads shop, apparently when he got new tires, and all 8 rims were dipped, the shop had no way of knowing which were chrome, so ill be picking those up. onto the pics..

Love em. It'll look great with the chromed stockers. I wonder why the p.o. cut the engine cover??
Congrats on the purchase; Hope it treats you well!

[madness410]

gorgeous i love the v's

[maroman88]

thanks guys. no idea why the engine cover was cut, doesnt look terrible tho and i was thinking of picking up some red z06 FRC's anyway. the other chrome rims should be here tomorrow.

i think this will hold me over just find until i sell my vette and TA and buy another C5

If you need any help with it let me know,
I have worked on quite a few V's.

Looks like they were going for a ZR1 look with the cut engine cover...

[maroman88]
