first as this was never a factory color, who is to say you have the wrong color badges? They look fine to me.

you appear to be missing the rear license plate filler

Check the brake light switchs above the brake pedel if they are not centered the cruise will not set. also you cant set the cruise below 25 MPH.

Everything else in the list is an easy fix. Enjoy your ride.

funny story about the license plate filler. The PO left the plates on the car so I wouldn't get pulled over on the 900 miles drive home. I got about 40 miles and got pulled over for 12 over the limit. The cop told me it was illegal to have the plates on made me give him the front and rear plate. After that I just put the plate filler in the car which is painted body color.

I am starting to be OK with the badges but the front and rear Corvette emblems look wrong for a C4 and are coming off. I need a front license plate filler as I don't intend to run a front plate. This will need to be painted. Should I use a "Corvette" filler or the "aftermarket ZR-1" filler?

Thanks for the tip on the cruise control switch. I didn't post a picture of the engine but the engine compartment is getting attention next as someone did a crappy yellow paint job to the intake and the guy I bought it from did a quicky black paint over the yellow. The cam covers are looking tires, so I will pull a bunch of parts and find a good powder coater in the Dallas area.

I would get the ZR-1 front filler. They aren't hard to find...
I think there are some on E-Bay that require paint - which would be perfect for you...

I wasn't too happy having the plates confiscated only 40 miles into my journey and told the cop, I was going to get pulled over 200 times by the time I got back to Dallas! He said I would get pulled over but since I had the title and bill of sale I was good for ten days. I told him I was worried about spending more time on the side of the road than on it, but he couldn't care less. Believe it not, I was never pulled over the rest of the trip. I did get comments when I stopped for gas. "Nice car, did your plates get stolen?"

After you get some things fixed on the car,maybe we and a few others from the area can meet somewhere and have a burger. I'm not that far away from you and Sherry & I like to frequent the Yesterday's Diner in Decatur.

That sounds great. The car is running very good now, so anytime.

I have one out of my 90 that needs a good home. I removed the secondaries AND opened the runners into heads. So! Chances are slim and none that I'll ever use it again - on that car, anyway. So...U want it, U let me know.

correct. Looks like a latter generation. The crossed flags look like V shaped wings.
