Personally not a fan of the C6 wheels but if ya like em keep em.
Mirrors, your choice. New hood would be a +1

That's 1 clean lookin Z you got there man. Have you thought about a Berger panel maybe? Add a little more black to the car, if not some black vinyl lettering for the panel. Looks really good as it is though.

Looks awesome! I love the rims. That car doesn't need anything IMO. If you want me to get picky, I'd suggest removing the side moldings, thats pretty much it.

It was a gap (the traditional fender gap that occurs when one lifts the car on the weld tabs instead of the frame... I bought the car like that). But it has since been fixed about a year or so ago. The last two pics are like a year old, haha.

Thanks for everybody's contributions! I'm getting some cool ideas

I'm pretty sure in a year or two the Sunoco Hood will be on the car. I love that hood.

PERFECT! As for caliper color, go with the color of your car. If you want to be bold, go with polished outer rim of the caliper and body color on the inside of the caliper.

BTW, love your car! And usually I dont like the z28 hood but with your car it pulls it off very well.

car looks great. have you thought of lowering it?
Maybe get an carbon fiber ss hood and leave the manta unpainted? Or a cowl and leave the sides of the cowl unpainted cf?

VERY nice car!!! I always see your sig pic and looked if you ever posted more pics. Its smooth and nicely done.

Keep the mirrors black, people don't see the theme i guess.
I say no to berger panel as well and go with tinted tail lights.
Nice c6 wheels with black chrome.

How much do you have invested into the suspension and hows the ride quality.
