Welcome!

Based on your posts I'm guessing your a LEO. Aurora or Naperville?

Mostly the Fox River, not very glamorous but decent scenery up by Dundee or down by St. Charles.

Nice, I prefer taking river trips myself. have two cars capable of carrying kayaks and drop in upstream. I usually go to the desplains River between romeoville and Joliet. Quite a bit of scenery, huge bald eagles nest and some of the only whitewater in Illinois. I want to get out to yorkville to their man made Rapids in the fox River this year.

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] you do this yet?

No sir.

Just installed a Vararam Snake Charmer intake kit on the Vette. Way fucking harder than I thought. Plus the instructions were pretty shit. But all in all, the kit is nice and I'm happy with it.

Next stop... exhaust

After

P.S. For you anal retentive folks, that crooked band clamp has since been straightened out

Car is looking good! How did you correct the tint issues and a popo using a radar detector

The radar helps prevent those awkward encounters with ISP on the highway. The tint was fixed at Umbra in Schaumburg. They cut a piece of vinyl sticker that goes over the dot matrix. The vinyl has thicker adhesive I guess that fills in around the dots. Looks way better now.
Above is after, below is before

Not at the moment. Who knows about down the road though. Next plans are suspension, wheels, and exhaust. Right now I'm pretty happy with how it's going. [emoji106]
