Painted the Z06

Well, I had my C5 Z06 painted, so I decided to change the color from Black to Arctic White b/c I have always loved white C5 Z06's. Reason I went with Acrtic White over Speedway White is b/c I wanted a PURE white and SW is alittle yellowish/pearl or something. I actually got the car back a month ago but decided it was time to see what you guys think about it. The before pics were taken with a very good Nikon camera, the new pics are with my crappy iPhone. Let me know your opinions......

Before:

Before: iPhone pics and C6 Z06 wheels

AFTER: Acrtic White Paint job. KB cowl hood, tinted Lights, CCW Big Street Classic's, Lowered alittle more!! CRAPPY IPHONE PICS

I actually just pulled the motor again bc im changing some stuff up, and adding some boost. I'm on a quest for 900rwhp.. That way I'll never get traction and have useless power, lmfao!! Oh well

that is sick! I was thinking first the black looks damn good. Always a fan of the FRC/Z06 body and white. Not too many around and that arctic white is really something else. I hate to ask what does it even cost to do something like this...

Black>White. Just my opinion. I'm not a fan of white cars. Black always looks badass.

PERFECT. Seriously, that looks incredible! The color, the hood, the wheels, everything. Definitely one of the nicest Corvettes I have seen in my life. Well done
