I was about to say "supercharge it" then I saw the last picture! Looks great just the way it sits.

Wow, this is not easy; feel like a supermodel is asking "what can I do to be better looking". Lol

I would suggest adding the new ZO6 mudflaps since you have a wide tire in the back.

Question for you WipFbody, in the orginal pics it looks like you are parked at a car show? I am new to Carolina and trying to find cool places where people gather? Any suggestions?

I think it needs to be slammed more and black out the windows. I am not a big fan of the wheels because the "star" is too fat. But, as he has said, he paid too much for the wheels. Not our problem that he doesnt have taste! LOL. Kidding man. Here is a Vette that I detail on a regular basis. Same hood too...

I only went through the first two pages but:

1. DO NOT put a spoiler on it.
2. DO tint the windows.
3. DO NOT get rid of the side moldings. Maybe have them hydro-dipped with a carbon fiber pattern like you have under the hood?

tredkillerz.......just when I had talked myself into taking the side molding off...lol. I do plan to tint the clear corners.......not sure about tinting windows.....I hate it at night when u can't see out the side mirrors.

prin....thanks for sharing the black vette.....looks awesome......that's the only other one I've seen with the RK Sport hood like mine. Does it have a supercharger?

OK everyone.......I kno the wheels aren't CCW.....but I think they look pretty good. Its OK to be different. I like my cars to be unique. I don't want mine to look like every other car out there. The key to building a great car is having an overall theme that all the mods compliment each other.....example....the black vette that PRIN posted. The hard part is to be different without being too far off from mainstream.....so when you to decide to sell it....it appeals to a large number of buyers. That's what makes this hobby so much fun......that and going as fast as possible....while looking awesome.

Thanks for all the input!!!!!! Ohhh....NO SPOILER OR WING GOING ON MY VETTE.

That car has a huge cam and Trick Flow heads. Makes a lot of horsepower too. Looks like you are on the right track with the mods. Just dont do anythig radical and you will be ok.

LOL!! I like your wheels except for the rivets. However, I think they still look great. I'm with you on keeping it different. It's difficult to do but there aren't many out there that looks like yours.
