Well I wanted to post up my new setup. I love the way it now looks. I had the C5 chrome motorsports and went to these. Positive and negative comments are always welcomed.

Agreed. It is lowered, suspension just hasnt settled just yet in the pics. The BSM fortunately have saved my butt as far as dings and scratches. Dont think I can give them up do to the fact others dont know how to drive...

Ditto, I usually don't like the new C6 rims on C5's but that looks looks clean. Much better in that color rather than in chrome. Drilled and slotted rotors will really make it mean looking.

Not sure why so many are against the bsm...I think it adds to the lines of the car, and as previously mentioned they are functional for saving the doors from getting dinged up by others.

Sorry you already bought the rims, woulda been nice to upgrade to the C6 Z06 bigger brake setup. Get some cross-drills and grippier brake pads. Put some rake in your stance and your good.

BSM's are fine.

Enjoy!

Love the all black look, and your car is looking very clean. I'm thinking about this setup for my QS Z but I don't know what I'd do with my CCW's.
