1998 C5 Corvette. Sold it
in 11/04.
Voice of my girl |
|
The day I sold her, I was upset to see her go but, it
was time to change things.
|
She was a GREAT looking C5!!

My rear plate, home made for $19 !! |
My rear Z06 type screens, home made for $5 !! |
 |
 |
Installed a new air intake. I felt a little bit more
in the SOTP. |
It moves much more air now baby!! |
My Garage floor all done, it looks great and the car
stays much cleaner now too. |
A mouse got at the hood liner from the last owner.
I repaired the area, repainted it and painted the C5 logo. It looks
good for now!! |
I wanted to see how red fuel rail covers would look
and got a little creative. Looks great!!
 |
|
I was board one day and painted the radiator cover and
the C5 logo on the air bridge..
 |
This engine bay is really looking good.

|
My new high performance hood seal. Only $3.85 from my
local hardware store.. Better than paying $14 for a advertised
Corvette hood seal! Click here
for what I used.
 |
My new optima battery, it took me three weeks and $650
to fix all the "Charge System Fault" messages I was getting on the DIC..
Outside of bad battery cables and an alternator, The last of the culprits
was a leaking battery...

This is the modified bulb socket, it use's an 1157.
It's just a basic replacement socket.

Here is the socket in the blinker section of the EURO
lens.

This is a bad picture but, you get the idea. This will
space it out the amount you need to get it flush. It's a 3/4 in long spacer.
I wound up using a plastic spacer that was 3/8 inch in dia.

Here is what you need;
1) Four general purpose 1157 sockets (About $3.50 each)
2) Splice connectors for 18 ga. Wire (I'm sure most of you have these laying
around), If you can solder, do that.
3) Four 1157 Bulbs ($2.99 for two)
4) 10 ft of 1 inch by 7/16 foam seal (see pic below)
5) (6) 3/4 inch long spacers (two for each center lights and one for each
outer)
6) (2) 1/2 inch long spacers for the two outside lights (these go on the
outer screw)
7) (8) 2 inch long #8 (fine thread) dry wall screws (they are black oxide
coated just like the OEM's)..
When your all done, you have to cut the white wire on
the brake pedal switch and also tap off the center brake light and use that
to power the stop light filaments in the red lens.

This is my dash cluster white face gauge and Alum
Bezel install. It only took two hours to get to this point. I took my
time!!
|
Installing the gauges took a little finessing but it
went in fine. The gauge goes under the pointer and then you need to
push the gauge down that is next to the pointer to get it over the back part
of it.
 |
|
Man these look great!
 |
All the gauges installed, ready for re-assembly!
 |
|
Here is the completed project with the lights off
|
Here is a shot with the blue lights on, It looks awesome!!
 |
|
Here is one with the
gauge lights off and the normal dash lights on
