Well; It took me about 1.5 hours and 4 beers, no broken nails but plenty of scratches all over my hands. Good luck and take your time..

Those are great looking FRC's.

Hopefully they will fit right in without too much effort. Unfortunately, mine (stock Corvette units) required major surgery, and my hands still have the scars to show for it.

I keep all of my nails short...then I don't have to worry about breakin any. Plus, they just get in the way! [Razz]

Those are awesome looking frc's Millie!! They would look great on the hubby's car!!! [Big Grin] Would you mind if I asked where you got them and what they run cost wise? And like those that already posted...you can put them on. You'll worry more about all the scratches that you get on your hands. You'll look like you got in a fight with a cat! [Razz]

LMAO!!! I love all the replies!!! Well.....first things first:

THE NAILS

I don't mind getting them dirty, but for $40bucksawhack, I don't wanna break 'em.....they're pretty strong, tho.....ya like the nail polish color, Ken?? ...couldn't find the vodka glass pic....LOL!!! [Wink]

 -

THE FRC'S

I got them at Afterthoughts

I don't know if they're the best price or not....it was just too convenient!! (time=$$) I ordered the chrome lettering, a 2nd line (SS), and a roll of heat-reflective tape.

Steve: You can give them your paint code # and they will match your SOM!!

Ken: You could probly have them put "35th SS" or something where the SS is in the sample

Art: Trust me.....you REALLY don't want a videotape of me cussing....!! [Eek!]

That is exactly what I would like to have as a matter of fact. Maybe Travis would let me send them a pic of his but I want to get his approval. [Big Grin]

I think I know of some people here in the Bay Area who have been cutting the Corvette FRCs down and making them fit the F-Bods. I cannot justify spending $200 on these...I'll see what I can find out and post about it.

Current mods:
SLP Airlid/K&N Filter/SLP Bellows/free ram air cutout,
SLP Short Throw w/ Jarrod's Short Stick, SLP Loudmouth Catback, Nitto 555rs, J&M SFC and appearance mods.
