Thanks for the ideas guys.

I knew the bsm and wheels would come down to preference.

I tried to sell this car a couple of months ago and will be doing so again in the spring.

Just wanted to see what I could do to possibly boost my sale. I bought the car like this so I don't have original parts to swap.

But thanks for being honest guys! Hopefully I can land myself into a Z06 this spring (hoping for electron blue again)

Thanks,Matt
Thanks. Only mods I know of are CAI, I put the c6 shifter in it. It has slotted and drilled rotors, and the wheels. It has some pretty dark tint too.

Like the car but wheels are a negative for me - I think a polished wheel would look great with the Electron Blue color

I love the color. Not a big fan of light colored interiors. As far as the wheels and BSM, that's all up to you. I have them both, gloss black wheels and BSM. I rather have BSM than door dings anyday. JMO

It's a beautiful car. But since you asked...I'll take a shot. First off I" let it be known on this forum that I'm old school. I don't like bkack wheels on anything. One other thing. I just dont like BSM's. But other than those minor things you have one bad *** car.

I like the wheels, although I think they're a little off being gunmetal or whatever color you call it. They would look better if they were black IMO.

Overall, great looking car though. I really like EB C5s.

It's much too shiny. I can see reflections of the ground in the paint.

Personally, I like the wheels. A whole lot less "busy" and better looking than most other popular wheel choices

You asked.
Love the exterior color.
Love the interior color.
Love the 6 speed.

Not a fan of black wheels. Some cars look right with black, very few though.

My second favorite color after Nassau Blue Metallic (but then I am bias), and I do not like dark/black wheels with this color, prefer silver.

Like the interior, too many black C5 interiors.

Do you have a "clear" top? I like the "openness" of the clear top (for the spring, winter, fall).

I have a request:

Does anyone have an electron blue coupe or z06 without the side moldings so I can see the difference?
