Scrolling through your first pictures I was thinking there is no way I'd ever paint over a factory paint job, but after seeing the final product it looks amazing!

Thanks again guys!! It's pretty much the car that I've always wanted now. For those who asked. Yes it's an entire color change. It looks like it came from the factory BUT much better quality. A paint job like this one runs about $7k but I'm sure that price would vary with other painters. It was really scary seeing the car COMPLETELY torn apart. I'm talking, no glass, interior(dash stayed in)or anything.. It was a roof and rocker panels only. I have a pic I can post up later, of when the roof/rockers were finished and the glass/interior back in. No panels on the car at all. Looks funny!!

Interior is pretty much stockish I guess. Mod red interior. Has a 6 point roll bar that's gloss black. I have a custom leather wraped console cover. All LED interior lighting. I also just put like $2k into the stereo. I had the radio bezel cut out to fit a 7" Pioneer indash radio/DVD/navi with a 10" solobaric. I plan on buying some C6Z seats soon.
speedway white (or now AW) C5 Z06 has been my dream car for 6 years.

Guys, I really appreciate the comments. I do feel fortunate to have the car I've always wanted. I've now got the motor/trans/rear out lol.. I'm going to "beef" up the rear alittle and freshen up the motor and add more boost. You could tell the car had a cam before but when I'm done, you'll really be able to tell.
