Default Car show pics of my Z06

Thought these were a lot better than my old ones so figured I'd share. I was early to a car show with my neighbor's TT Viper (it's NASTY) and took a few pics:

I think Silver, MSG and Pewter all look better with overcast skies. When the sun is shining, the red, yellow and blue Corvettes really pop!

Although I think silver looks best in the hour leading up to sunset when the sun isn't as harsh and direct. Overcast days silver just looks grey to me.

Yep. Dead on sun tends to hurt metallic finish IMO. Below is a pic of MSG with on a cloudy filled sunny day. I like how the clouds reflect off of the finish. (Ignore the dragon fly)

Beautimous !

Love all the touches with the side skirts, offsets on the wheels, black outs, etc.

Well, not 'just like' anymore. My sig pic looks close but that's when I didn't have the ACI pieces, smoked lights and black lower rear fascia. I had to differentiate myself a bit and love the way the car turned out.

Thank you - not bad pics for a camera phone either!

Car looks good!! Now all it needs is a rear bumper like this. That's what mine is getting next. I too have the side skirts and splitter and I think this bumper will top it off, along with a very subtle hood, but first the bumper.

I've been talking to Pete and he's working on that bumper but with a custom diffuser. Think I'm going to hold off and see what that design looks like but yes, I'd love to have that bumper to help compliment my other mods - think it'd turn out looking really sharp!
