Joe Polai has his own version of TLC — "Tender love and cash." That’s what he put into his 1991 Corvette after he purchased it in 2000. "It was in dire need of a paint job — the paint was cracked, chipped, and faded," he explains. "The car was used and abused by the previous owners and need that TLC to bring it back to a nice condition." As you can see, Joe did a great job with the make-over, which also included a number of exterior modifications (like Grand Sport fender hash marks and fender flares, taillight louvers, GS brakes, etc.) and a new Sport Suspension from Eckler’s. From the factory, the C4 came with the L98 engine, 6-speed, FX3 suspension, leather sport seats, glass top, and electronic temperature control. For improved performance, Joe enlisted TPIS in Chaska, Minnesota to add a 3 1/2-inch cat-back exhaust system, 4.09 rear gears, B&M Ripper shifter, TPIS Fast Pack Kit, and ZR1 chrome wheels.
