Looks awesome!

I've got the F14s coming as well. What tires are you running and what sizes? I like the setup.

Wow DJ-I don't know if I could pull that off, but more power to ya'!


Have you considered painting the rear lower fascia red? It would go with your color theme.

I'm undecided about the stripe on the grill, but those mirrors looks great. Well done! What exhaust tips did you use?

Edit: To add to this, OP I think you should have gone all the way down with the red on the mirrors, like on the C7R above.

Looks very good with red mirrors. IMO red down mirror stems would be perfect

I kept the OEM Z51 tire sizes. 245/35/19 front and 285/30/20 rear. I have to admit that 285 on a 20x11 rear is a little stretched but still looks good. I'll go with 305 when I burn through these. LOL

Thanks. All vinyl. No more plastidip for me.

I actually just picked up 4 black chrome 4 inch tips and had them welded to 2 "y" pipes at my local muffler shop. Have no idea who makes them but they are high quality. If you thought the C7 has an amazing sound with NPP, the sound without one is monstrous. LOL.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Ya' know...that was my first thought...looks good now but maybe on the verge of going over the top.

When the mods detract from the overall appearance, it might be time to draw the line...

Great job, so far...

IMHO...your car...your decision.

1. you're

Looks awesome! My only suggestion would be to follow the red stems to the door as Mecholova mention.

Are those the non-z51 brakes? I'm trying to decide if I want to powder coat my base brake calipers, or upgrade to z51 and send them off.

Any other mods planned?
