Default New Wheels Too! (MY Z w/ IForged Aeros)

Finally got a chance to shoot some pics with the whole set mounted and better lighting (though my lens hazed up a little - goddamn it was humid here today):

They look great. If I didn't go with EB, MY would have been my choice. Your car looks amazing.

I just traded with Rick

Yeah, I did that like 3 years ago - just wound up with an extra one, and figured I'd do what C4's did from the factory (like the ZR1 and Z07).

Hahaha, I kind of like it [my *** emblem]

I'm *thinking* about either getting the two back "snouts" painted black (someone on the forum did that with a BPP on MY and it looks outstanding) ~or~ selling this hood and going with an exposed carbon center MCM hood.

To pick up a little more black/dark to compliment the wheels and rear brake ducts.

Yeah, I lowered the front as far as it would go without cutting the bushings, and back to match. I'm semi-sure I'm going to go with a coilover setup then I can really get it _low_ and not have problems bottoming out (especially on track).

That is a fantastic option that I'm considering - I was thinking a pre-painted one might trickle through - I had a line on one a few months ago, but at the time I wasn't 100% sure I was keeping the car.

Boy you got that right - I'm as far as I can go on the front bolts with all the bushing in place (with a matched rear lowering). I had considered removing them and using some longer rear bolts I have in a box - the aesthetic would be improved but the handling would be potentially terrible (with the standard body shocks).

So I think this car is going to have some Pfadt product on it very soon

I *believe* IForged paints the centers but I'm not 100% sure. Seems like when I ordered my Trials way back when, even the flat "hyperblack" finish was paint based. Maybe I'll shoot Vince an email and ask just for the heck of it.
