Default Got my QS Z back from the paint shop - many pics!

Here's my Z. Had it repainted the last month and half after I scraped a stop sign down the passenger side.. whoops, but I got to get a cool hood and chin spoiler in the process. I put some C6Z06 seats in it awhile back and think they look/feel great in it.







Now to the good stuff. It's hard to only pic a few so here's A LOT!!!














And big props to my buddy CHUCKDOG for making me these 1 of a Kind kickazz custom Z Badges.

They aren't the best shots, but here's some front enders...

I made the Halltech Tunnel Hull front license cover myself too.





And one more really crappy pic.

Nice paint job! My wife is drooling over your car. Where did you get the car painted? Need to get mine done in the next month or so. Thanks!

Damn that looks good. I love silver.

I dont really like the front spoiler but thats just me. I sure do like the black badges though, I may have to do that.

Where did you get the seats? I just checked ebay and only found tan C6 coupe seats. I really want a seat of C6Z seats. They look and feel great IMO.

Got them from a guy on the corvetteforum. I'm on there much more than here... The seats are a 1000% improvement over the C5Z seats. Good luck finding some!!

Yeah, man I'm finally here! I love the place already. We've got a meet today this morning around 11:30 at the K-mart parking lot past the bridge going into PCB. I was to bring the car out but I've got some stuff I need to do before putting it on the road. Mainly getting rid of the Euro tags and getting registered here.

Yeah we found a rental in Lynn Haven. Hopefully though we'll be out of here in a month if this offer is accepted tomorrow.

Thanks for the info too. I'll have to check him out.

Silas,

how hard is it to get the C6 seats to bolt into the C5's? that'd be an upgrade i'd consider

It's very easy. 4 bolts unbolt the C5 seats from the tracks then slap the C6 seats on and put the 4 bolts back on. A little enginuity is required to make the C5 side power module fit the C6 side bezel but it's not bad at all. All you need is a dremel and some 2 sided tape. If you ever get to that point let me know and I can help you out.

Glad to hear you got your car back. From the looks of the pics they did a great job.

Keep an eye on your voice mails and/or pm's. I am hoping to have good news for you in about a week. Keep your fingers crossed.

BTW, your car looks awesome against the backdrop where you took the photos.

Thanks. You know since you're not driving your beast anyway, you could just rip the FAST combo off and send it down now
