I was passing by one of those high end used car showrooms when i came across a better than brand new custom 98 c5 corvette. No ugly ricy mods, just tasteful high class touches including buttery soft custom leather seats, upgraded Z06 wheels and a worked shortshift 6 speed. Needless to say i fell in love. Its got everything including the heads up display which i believe wasn't offered in that year, anyway, i started to re-evaluate my vehicle situation and decided to swap out my solara for the vette. The hard part of the decision is whether to trade it in or sell it privately.
I really like my red solara and went through hell trying to find a factory sport body kit which i did, and it looks gorgeous. It also has the trd swaybar and sport springs plus all the toys that came along with the SLE package. What do you guys think i can get for it privately as opposed to the 17k i can get on a trade? It is in excellent condition and always has been run on Mobil1 oil changes.

I say you sell off your GE kit and springs and sell the car - you'll get the same $$ for it anyway, plus a few bux for the other goodies. ;)

^^^He'd need it to be the same color car to transfer the pieces he had to cut into... either that or repaint, which would cost more money...

So... even if he goes that route... it'd probably be best for a red car...

I'd part it out. Dealership would have no clue on the kit itself. I'm sure the kit i sold to you would be appreciated by someone in the community. Good Luck with the vette.

I'm assuming that biggi_e knows what he wants and he knows that he will have to repaint it "purple rain" :P an SLE with the TRD kit would be nice (both interior and exterior) !!

:D
