Default Darkness c6 z06

Hey everyone!

We just finished MURDERING out a fellow forum member’s Z06. I will say, this car disappears at night time! Not only was the owner (SilveradoSS500) blown away by the new look but it amazed us as well!

Adam insisted on us making it as black as possible…

Here you go:








We noticed Adam’s brake duct needed some work, so we re-attached it for him!

We also cleaned his brakes for him 

Some very good work. You might suggest to the customer to:
paint the calipers and rotor hats black and to remove the GM "chicklet" if it is applied with adhesive. We all need work don't we

Dig the suede ceiling, doing that to my car as well. Dig the black theme alot, I just don't see the point in covering those gorgeous headlights. Is that car the stock height?...looks a lil 4x4ish. Gotta bust his *****(silverado)

You forgot the reverse lights. There is a nice little plastic kit that using double stick tape for those. Tell the owner to be ready for the bat mobile comments on the blacked out Vette!

I would consider painting the stock brakes black...but my pretty Stoptechs? I heat them up so much that the paint gets ruined anyways.

I like the GM thingy....

Dave- Depends on who you know! BTW, I painted my headlights WAY to dark....I am not worried about it. I plan to have my Dealership take care of it, no questions asked.

I usually tell chicks, "just write your number in my suede baby"....Suede makes the world difference on the interior.

Its lowered BUT lately I have noticed that is sits high....I TOTALLY ruined my SLAMMED C5Z... I kindoff enjoy my 4X4 Z06! It still handles like a monster.

Bruce borrowed it the other night, no biggy!

I am getting a rear diffuser. Say GOODBYE reverse lights...that's why I didn't touch them.


Thanks guys

I think it looks outstanding but I'd be worrried I'd fail annual inspection with the tinited headlights. In my area this would also get you pulled over pretty quickly and ticketed as well but it does look amazing. Very nice job.

Looks killer!!

My GF loved that C6Z... now she laughs at mine too raw... grr, now I have a new goal!

You definitely got the ride quality nailed down. Infinitely better than a stock C6Z, much sharper too. Your throttle response had me jealous.

How'd you end up doing against that Green Turd Supra? My Z is too slow to keep up with yall *tears*

OH, YOU AGAIN! Tell you GF she can ride the better Z anyday or in a Texas Z with air conditioning that is!!!

Thanks for the compliments, I was been waiting for your approval, I AM NO WHERE near done with the car. It needs some work...

Verdict on the C6Z vs 600HP 112race gas Green supra??? O ya, I dominated it. DUH...It had turbo lag but once it was spooled up, it was catching me like white on rice...It was fast for sure...

Wait, I did loose to the 08 Viper with Motons...aka LOSER! I just need a cam...

As far as the brakes being black, I like the Red POP.
