Decided to take a day to think about it and then I saw your WTB thread looking for a red Z06. I figured you'd appreciate the red more.

It's a beautiful car and I think you got a great deal. Enjoy it in good health.

I did get a good deal. 68 before taxes and the car is damn near perfect. I appreciate you taking a pass on it

Congrats on the new ride! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I've enjoyed mine - 9 months and 11,000 miles. Awesome track and road trip car.

Anyway, here is a before and after picture. I think these things make a massive difference on the front end.
Very nice. I was going to get a red one but then I saw a very low mileage yellow one and that's what I got. The car is awesome no matter what colour you have.

True statement. I've seen them in every color made and I love the looks regardless.
