Default Red on Black FRC pics

I bought my car 2 months ago and sold the wheels and got a chance to do the exterior modifications I wanted to do so I figured I would show them. Let me know what you think:

- Bought GM C5 Z06 wheels
- Powdercoated them black
- Got Advanced Auto red pinstripe tape for the wheel lips
- Grand sport fender stripes
- Black CORVETTE front license plate lettering
- Painted brake calipers red
- Polished CORVETTE on calipers

Installing this week:
- HID 6000k low beam headlights

I would have left the CCW's on but that's because I LOVE those wheels. The car looks mean the way it sits now though

Looks great. You should get some black lug nuts, though.

Yeah, it was more along with the situation I was in. The car needed tires when I bought it and it was crazy expensive for the CCW's (18x10.5, 18x11.5) and so I traded them for some stock wheels with good tires on them to fix that problem and then got them powdercoated and came out with more money on top of the whole deal which is how I got the HID's also so it was the more practical choice for me and I've always been a red/black fan anyways so not too bad of a deal!

you could paint the middle of your rotors black...it would get rid of the rust and tie into your theme too
