Default My 08 Z06

Hi All,

Just got my 08 Z06 back after having a ton of work done. Here are the photos. I'm thinking about powder coating the rims black and leaving the centers chrome? Feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Just curious, does your car see a lot of track time? The reason I ask is because that is one HUGE wing! I don't think you will like the powder coat and center caps...Oh and by the way, is that BB Fusion exhaust, it looks aweful familiar

You are correct sir, it is a BB exhaust with long tube headers. I plan on taking the car to the local track at least a few times a month once the weather improves. I have an exhaust vid I'll upload. It was done with a digi cam and the quality is not the best.

LOoks great ,wing's OK but don't care for the bracket placement.Black or Comp grey wheels would look great.

I agree. It can also be used as a buffet table during football tailgates!

I'll start by saying everyone is different, right? Some like em small some like em big!!

I don't like anything really the hood, the stripe, the rims, the sticker, especially the wing, but the lip is okay.

All that mattes is that you like it!!!

What wing? - i don't see a wing. wings can serve double duty as a serving table to lay food items out buffet style at picnics and back yard bbq's

I like the color combo with the stripe. Of all the hoods out there that one is not my Fav but I understand you choosing it because of the racing look and to go with the WING. You probally wont find many on here who like the whole wing thing. All that matters is that u like it, unless ur married, then she has to like it also

I do think with that wing you are gonna have to loose the stock wheels and move up to a more aggressive set of shoes for that bad boy, IMHO

That is hideous, sorry.

To each their own, so long as you like it.

That wing is and splitter combo is great for me if I were at a road race track event but if it's just for driving on the mean streets I wouldn't do it. I even took the rear wing off my 2004 STi and put on a little trunk lip spoiler. The only thing that matters is if you like it and obviously you do so enjoy.

Wing looks too big but some guys like that. I never liked wings anyway. I also don't like the band at the top of the windshield, we know the car is a Corvette. But to each his own. To me, less is more

Sorry but you asked.

After all the wing comments I decided to take it off this morning just to see what it would look like without it. Here are some no WING pictures.

Much better! Still not my style, but much better nonetheless!

Congrats on your new ride!
