Replaced my headlights recently with Morimoto’s, also taillights. What an amazing difference..

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Been looking at doing my tailights with the Morimotos

@Cuttlefish36O Год назад

I think the thing you said about the leaves in the paint might just be because of the color. I have a yellow mustang and I kind of feel like that too with my car.

Fiberglass doesn,t "stain". There are primer, base, and clear coat on the panels.

such awesome cars, and thanks for watching the videos I appreciate it! and will do!

@panzerwaffen2873 3 года назад

I have a 2005 also ..last week I had to replace a burnt wire that was causing a lot of electrical issues ... Other than that just simple stuff has being changed ... Pulleys ... Shock absorber and headlight ballast that's it I have had it for 4 years already all I can say is I don't know if I will have a better car in my life

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Man I feel the same way, I’ve had mine for 4 and a half years and one engine rebuild (my fault the old one blew) but other than that just oil changes and a replacing my starter she has been pretty amazing.. I haven’t even had to touch my AC.. only thing rn is a power steering fluid leak but no biggie

@tyjones1978 3 года назад

@macsen5422 3 года назад

Hah, can confirm: have had a 2008 for a year and a half, and I already got problem 1, 2, 3 and 4... not the 5, but probably just because I have a custom rear bumper. Let me add to the list the finicky fobs being recognized only when the car feels like it, the squeaky targa roof, the lever getting stuck in P, turn lights regularly going out, a battery that needs to be changed every year, and the radio volume knob unable to function properly every time And yet, after 15.000 miles, two road trips and three track days, I'm still in love with it. Terrific car. EDIT: And remember guys: pin the harmonic balancer, the achilles' heel of the otherwise majestic LS3. You don't really want to leave it wobbling around

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Hey bro that squeaky targa roof was an easy fix... remove the roof and put Vaseline on the little prongs that stick out and in the spot where the prongs go into roof... that one drove me crazy hahaha... but yep did the balancer on mine when installing the cam/ other goodies

@juicymangos9820 3 года назад

Man I bought a c6 corvette literally yesterday and my biggest pet peav about it is the door handles😂 it’s like sometimes they will work instantly and other times I have to hold it 3-4 different tries to get it to open but otherwise love the car

Yeah they can be so annoying but over time u get the magic touch with them🤣 Issa skill

Not sure if it makes any difference? But I do keep N2 in my tires, and haven't had any issues with TPMS yet. Love mine! Vette's for life :-)

@marineforces3214 3 года назад

Ur BackLights : if u want, u could seal ur backlights with color-less (that glass like shine through stuff) silicone. Press it with a silicone-gun around the gap, finish it with going around the fresh sealing and merge it tied in between the gap with ur clean finger-tip, til u almost can't see the application, when u look at it. Never mind, if u mess it up, after the silicone dried, u can pull it off and try again. U have to do pretty much the same thing, if u take off the frontLight housing, if u really want to clean them up. !

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

okay sweet, thanks for the advice man!

@marineforces3214 3 года назад

With my car the battery of the front TPS Left didn't work no more, so I changed them both in da front when I got new front-tires. The car warned me, that it wouldn't go faster than 65, but no problem I still could go 90mph. Another hint, get ur new TPS in the tire-shop for about 45 bucks, Corvette takes 180$ just for one new TPS-sensor.

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 2 года назад

Yeassss not everyone gets what I’m talking about but it’s almost like soft paint lol

@JReedsLoveofCars 3 года назад

Luckily just about everything you named is an easy fix. My biggest grip is the targa top. The squeaking is super annoying and the clear tops are notorious for stress cracks. Again though... those are easy fixes as well. Dielectric grease and just wrap the top if it looks too bad. However, I have never owned a car with so many quirks!

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Haha they are for sure quirky cars but good at what they do.. which is go fast hahaha... and yeah I have to put grease on the fittings for my top every so often!

Hey awesome video dude, I'm a subscriber. I need help 2005 c6, sometimes I can't get the interior door unlock buttons to work, other than that no problems ever. Thanks

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

It’s probably not the switch.. your door latch motor is probably going out, that is what happened to mine right after I got the car.. I believe is was around $100 at the time for another motor but it is easy to replace

@marineforces3214 3 года назад

I wonder myself, how do dust particles get over time into the C6 head-Lamps, ... it's possible that it be a common thing that there is moister in the head-Lamp, it's supposed to disappear after a couple of hours use. Yeah, it'LL quite take some time to take them head-Lamps off, and than take them apart, but can be done.

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Yeah I have seen a few videos of people taking the headlight out to restore.. most of them say its such a headache they would rather just spend the money on new though lol

@marineforces3214 3 года назад

@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 Doesn't matter to me, and if it takes two or even 3 days, it is not all work anyway, some things take time to dry and what not. But in the end u earned the cash, and money is some times hard to get. But it has 3 bonuses or even 4 u'LL get either : 1.what u do urself is definetely quality, ecause u will do it with passion 2. u don't need to pay some one else + spend a little to have more tools 3. when u dig deeper into ur car, u can clean up things in the vicinity u usually never face, and get a little deeper into it, and put a drop of oil here and there.

My driver door switch it's brand new and even though it open just if I press unlock on the fob ...what can be this issue ? It doesn't bother me at all but would like to fix it

Try and replace the battery in your fob then, it may not be recognizing you are close to it bc the battery is weak. I’m not sure but a possibility

@marineforces3214 3 года назад

@@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 yeah, some companies do that especially the more expansive the car was in the first place, example : corvette, backlight housing for 400$ each, or McLaren, a car battery for 3000 bucks, it's laughable, especially cars where the computer literally takes over, it's when u don't know any more what's broke, or even the smallest things can brake, the whole car doesn't work no more, all that with an almost brand new car.

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

@bucknerjm 3 года назад

Build up of dirt at tail lights has somewhat to do with the fact your running no cats so the rear bumper is always going to stay dirty. Headlight hazing is coming and lens needs replaced. That’s why I went with Moromotio. I hear you about the TPS and electronic door handles.

@Thatsnapchatyellowc6 3 года назад

Yeah no cats doesn't help for sure lol, and yep they need to he replaced bad. 🤣

The fiberglass has nothing to do with the paint. Also, it's not fiberglass: it's SMC with (on some panels) glass filler. The Corvette hasn't been real "fiberglass" for many decades.
