Thanks guys,

The wheels I got off eBay with tires, 1100 shipped.

The tips are so huge, I love 'em. And it gives the car a unique look from the back. Idaknow, ever since adding those one, I've loved the look of my car from the back.

And about the holes in the fascia, I will be putting on a carbon fiber grill. Lots of carbon fiber accents planned for this baby. I just need to work on the carputer first.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Idaknow, I've loved those tips since the day I put them on. Maybe after I get the SS spoiler put on and make the rear of the car more oval, the oval tips will match it better.

Your kind words made me fall in love with the car all over again tonight.

Very very nice. Simple and understated. Very mean looking. The smoked headlights, stock color Z06 wheels and removal of the grille all help a hell of a lot. It'll look even better with that carbon fiber grille. As for the exhaust tips, I kinda like 'em. I'm all about being different and I don't think they're big enough to be gaudy so it's all good.
