Small update!
Fresh fluids in the trans and diff, new NTO5R tires in one size taller format, and CFKits front lip and side skirts. Shifts so much nicer with the new fluid in the trans.
Also got the vette looking how I always envisioned, but I might have to raise up the front a bit because of my driveway curb. The rear is okay, since the new Nitto NTO5R tires are taller by about 1inch overall in diameter.
