Default New springs, shocks, and wheels

Finally got my car decent looking, dont mind the unpainted hood, getting painted ASAP. Car has Strano springs, Bilstein shocks, OEwheelsllc c6 z06 17x9.5/18x10.5 with Invos. I also have the freedom designs spoiler and export tails. I think once the hood gets painted and I get the stripes on the sides of the cowl, I'll be happy appearance wise.

245/45/17 fronts and 285/35/18 rear. The fronts sem a little narrow, but that's the widest besides like 255/50/17s which were waay off diameter.

Though about just painting your hatch and spoiler black?

or just painting the hood white like you said.

Will look good either way.

Looks good overall. I would be tempted to cut that spoiler in three pieces as it looks kind of strange all in one piece.

Thanks everyone. Im definitely just going to paint the hood and out the stripes on the cowl. Unpainted looks too unfinished IMO, and I wouldn't paint the spoiler/batch black. I would have gone 18 all around, but i like the staggered look. The rides pretty good, worlds better than stock. I think I need to take the rears off and beat the fender wells in some more, I still feel like they're rubbing a little.

Looks great. I plan on order those springs/shocks soon. Ever thought about removing the side trim?
