if you like the side molding, keep it. It looks fine with it on there, but it's all personal prefrence. I think it'd look better without the molding.

+1 for window tint, it'd be an awesome contrast between the yellow/black. Because yellow is so vibrant you wouldn't have to do much of a tint to give it a sharper look.

Makig the tail lights flush would look good too.

Whatever you do, don't put clear corners on it

i think it looks great now everything goes very well. the only thing i could think that would make it better would be flared rear quarters and then u can put a little wider tire in the back looks pretty good

i dont see why people are saying ditch the wheels. these wheels have a price tag greater than all those CCW wheels that are a PITA to even keep clean!

i agree with most of the folks, tint the windows ( i really like the 15% huey put on my car), take the molding off, and maybe add the lip spoiler as posted. thats it. dont do anything to those wheels. its rare to see a "less is better" look for corvettes. for some reason, most of these guys do all kind of **** to these cars. damn chrome everywhere. if you want to impress somebody at a show, get in the car, crank it up, rev the motor and let them hear that whipple whine.

who you gonna get to drive all these show cars to the shows? 3rd gen, wide-body, now the z06. keep the z06 subtle and leave the wild stuff for the already wild wide-body.

kyle, you're just jealous that you dont have ccw wheels......

Paint the wheels black, tint the tail light side markers and windows, and remove the side molding. Please dont put a spoiler on it

Car looks good, engine bay is beautiful, but I'm with everyone on ditching the moldings, adding tint and personally I think there are better looking wheel options in that price range. I think the spokes are too wide for a vette, painting them black would tone that down. I do think they would look good on a f-bod though.

I guess that's what makes the world go around......I hate skinny spokes. I think the width of the spoke needs to be wider the wider and lower the car.

Not many people stay with stock vette wheels bc the body overwhelms the wheels.
Fiske look great on fbodies because the match the "beefyness" of the car.

Just my $.02

But everybody has there opinon.
