    Rear License Plate Frame.

    Would like to upgrade the look a bit, but, perhaps it's best to leave it alone. Have you noticed the overall dimensions of the stock one? Other frames have thin in width sizes, if installed, there is now a space between the frame and reverse lights. Does not look good. Have you found a...

    Question: How is rear license frame removed to replace plate?

    Did you get your answer? I'd like to replace mine also, but the frames I've found don't look as good. The stock black frame is wider which covers the area , next to the reverse lights. Did you change yours out? Find a good replacement?

    My perspective Hi Junkman! Doing well? i did the deed on my drivers seat, I have not read the entire post but I assume your question is about the seat repair. Here's what happened on my end, I did the repair not too long ago: small hands and patience helps on the electrical connections, the...

    The C7 Does not Fit!

    Thank you Ckholman For responding to my observation about leg room. I / we have it good in the C5. Reminds me of the time I picked a friend up for lunch. I thought it would be fun to remove the T top, it was a great day but turned out to be fortuitous.... His torso appeared to be longer...

    The C7 Does not Fit!

    It started with the C 6 Was over at A&A Corvette, a shop that "upgrades" Corvettes and leg room discussion came up. The legroom in the C6 was shortened from the C5 length. Looking into t a bit more, the body of the C6 is shorter and yet the wheelbase is longer than the C5. It is a deal...

    The C7 Does not Fit!

    Visited my local Corvette Dealer and noticed two things. With the drivers seat in the rear most position, I cannot stretch my legs. When looking directly out the front window, my vision is just below the upper crossover of the window frame. In the C5 my straight ahead vision is almost at the...

    Thank you Mr. Sam for the offer.....I took a look on eBay, there are a few listed, seems most are after market, one actually taken off a salvage. One company offers a 2 year another 6 month? Warranty. it sounds as if a steel cable is starting to shred on the "down" side. i have a set of...

    Question: Door Window Regulators

    I will install my first regulator, L side in the near future. I note on eBay one might find an nos with a lot of aftermarket ones. Two have been installed by a GM dealer in the past, my questions are, do they go out this often? Did the dealership install aftermarket? ( might be able to tell...

    Help! Professional Car Painter needed for Question

    Have the Anniversary Color. Don't know when or where it occurred. Looking directly "down" at the paint, I see what appears to be dried water droplets. They are etched into the clear coat down to the paint surface. Compound does not touch them. Question, can they be removed w/o disturbing...

    2003 50th Anniversary 44k miles

    It's an auto to keep harmony in the Home. But OD is fantastic for low rpm cruising out to Vegas! The conservative mods: high strength plastic slip overs on skid rails; Z06 air intake cover with k&n air filter; upgrade on H & L beam bulbs; enlarged drilled and slotted rotors with upgraded pads...

    Important! 50th Anniversary Pen Lite Battery Rot!

    Warning! Busted Driver's Seat Control Trim Panel

    I usually swing my legs out when exiting the Corvette but this time I heard a snap. Looking downwards on the drivers seat, I see the left side lower trim panel hanging off. I must have snapped a mount on the panel, anyone else? Will pull out the Manuals and see how to R&R the piece and try to...

    Question: Head Lamp Aiming

    Thanks HiB For responding! i read your write-up on the bulbs, thanks, and decided to install them. I had the idea they may be difficult to install, esp. for First Timers, so I removed the bezels and HL doors. One has a better view, and the bulbs are seated properly. I have the opinion the...

    Question: Head Lamp Aiming

    C5 2003, have owned the car for over a decade and am now working on the lack of headlamp lights at night. I took it for granted (and have heard from others) the light system on it is poor so I upgraded to GE Xenon Night Hawks--- low and high beam. When I first bought the car, used with 900...

    Question: Signal lamps work and then don't work

    I think, I think I may have a battery issue. My battery is now 5 years old and the car is driven about twice a month. It's odd, the blinkers will sometimes not work, flash, perhaps after the car has been sitting a while. All lamps are working, even the emergency flashers work when the...

    Question: Installing Front Fascia, Front Bumper Cover

    Thanks Again, it's always beneficial to speak with someone who has gone before....I wrote "sheets" a long time ago for body repairs and we called that spot in front of rear wheel the "dog leg". I see your point about torque on the front Fasica, I always try to get the correct specs when...
