The floor is actually balsa wood if I remember correctly. No way I'd accept a fixed car, I'd be willing to bet the entire drivetrain and frame are displaced. Jeff

I suspect what happened is that the lift arms were to far forward and car slid forward, jamming the arms up through the fender wells and the front half of the car smacked the ground or the oil drum he mentioned. I'd really like to see the underside of the car. I'd be after a complete total...

Rhino Ramps GregC- Man, sorry I doubted you. My local Meijers had three sets, I got mine 19.99. Very cool. The reason the guy couldn't find them in the computer last night is they are tagged on the Meijers inventory control tag as Rhine, not Rhino and the manufacterer is Blitz. A killer...

GregC- Can you confirm this. I caleld the Lansing store and they don't have em or list em. He was kind enough to check the Ann Arbor store on the computer and they don't list em either. He said they clearanced out something called Tiger Claw ramps but they are all gone. Thanx in advance, Jeff

c4c5- How difficult is it to pull the wheel. I've done airbag wheels before so I am familair with the process. Does the Corvette reguire a special tool to remove the lock plate or will a standard GM tool suffice. I may swap the wheel with a Vette Esesentails to spruce up the interior...

c4c5specialist- Thanx for the reply. Would you prefer the factory fix over the after market bypass?? My column lock seems to work fine and it is fairly loud as I can ussually hear it engage and disengage. Personally, I'm inclined to lose the thing completely with the bypass and I was...

Ok gang, I have a 99 Coupe with an A4, I want to kill off the column lock, but unfortunately I bought the car three days after the recall ended! Anyway, I'm considering which kit to use, the aftermarket or the GM kit. The GM kit comes with a new column lock ring, but I don't really want to...

Nope it's the black plastic surround on the rear plate. Fortunately, MI has no front plates. Jeff

The problem I have is getting a plate on it, however, on another forum I was instructed to use a small screwdriver to release the four side tabs and boom off comes the surround and I now have the plate on and I'm good to go. Thanx for the reply tho! Jeff

Being new to C-5's and having just bought a 99 Coupe, how does one take off the license plate surround so I can bolt up the plate. I looked in the owners manual but I found nothing on mounting the rear plate. I pulled on the surround but I am fearful of breaking it. Any help would be...

Thanx for all the replies and welcomes. I'll get the pics out if it ever stops storming here in MI. Jeff

I just picked up my 1999 Nassau Blue Coupe, 13800 miles and well under 30K. I'm stylin!! Pics to follow. Jeff

C4C5- Thanx for the response, I passed in the car and I just bought a pristine 99 coupe with 13K on it. Thanx, Jeff

I'm looking a 1998 C5, it's in nice shape except the drivers seat back appears to be broken. When I sit in the seat the left bolster seems to move back and forth with the motions of the car and it feels like the seat back is crooked eg. offest to the left. I ran a search, but the only thing I...

Thanx for the welcome, as for joining the club, it sort of like a readmittance, I had a 79 C3 about 12 years ago or so but life changes made it go, but as all things change I'll be back in the game shortly. I expect to pickup a 2000/2001 navy blue metallic car shortly after tax time next year...

okieracing- Thanx for the info, pretty much what I figured. If I buy from a state that had the front plate issue, I hope the first owner kept the cover. If they didn't, it maybe an indication about how well they cared for the car. Jeff

corvettecrazy- I knew it came with the car, but if it's gone what are my options for replacement. Thanx for the reply! Jeff

I am shopping C-5 Corvettes and I am looking at several in states that require front license plates and in MI where I am we don't have them. Is it possible to get a replacement front license plate cover that is matched to the car or do they come primered or whatever and need to be painted...
