So finally all the parts I need before my April 8th trip to NJ have arrived. Nothing is a major addition, as the cam is not going in until I get some headers but here is the list.
- 160 degree thermostat
- WCC front/rear lowering bolts
- WCC throttle body coolant bypass
- CCA black oil catch can
- Torco
- Bilstein HD shocks
I also have a LG G5X3 camshaft waiting to go in, that will be fun
The lowered stance of the z06 will be amazing, I cant wait! Hopefully the snow stops so I can get the suspension and tune done in time.

Finally I found a picture of the newest package available for the 2009 Corvettes. Up to this point I was only able to find pictures of yellow corvettes with this appearance package on them, and it was not looking good.
I am really liking this package in black, and can’t wait to see the ‘Jake’ stitching in the seats! Is it time for a Z06 upgrade for myself yet?

While expirmenting with colors and themes on my VM today I actually created a theme I like. For a while I have wanted a darker theme, but never could find one I liked. This is a simple color change theme, nothing extra special, but I like it. The wallpaper was found while searching google, if you know the original author or link please let me know so I can give credit.
