I agree with this. I'll post up some pics of mine. I used GM rattle can ZR1 Blue on my calipers as well, but I painted my brackets silver, brake pads black, then put silver "CAMARO" vinyl letters on the caliper. Finished with 3 coats of high temp clear over everything. Also did the ZR1 style badges and used the ZR1 Blue on the bowtie of my SLP grill.

C6 ZR1s and a Splitter would be perfect IMO!

That looks really nice, I'm going to have to do this on my black ss, kinda getting tired of the all silver calipers. Good job though, the silver bracket finishes off the look!!

Just one suggestion I don't think anyone has mentioned.

C6z06 or 6pot ctsv calipers painted jet blue with camaro decals.

Along with all the carbon fiber 6LE mods, that would be perfect IMO. And just a few blue accents like the badges and bowtie.

I really think the carbon fiber A pillar from 6LE would set the car off to look like a ZR1. Along with C6 ZR1 rims. That along with the splitter and you will have one SICK *** car man! Looking good thus far

Thanks for the advice and comments..

I am re-thinking the idea of maybe doing the 6LE splitter but in C.F. Now..

c6-zr1 wheels..? Their NICE..!! But Thats a BUST..!
I recently just purchased my Polished c6-zo6..
Ive been dreaming for these wheels for the past 4yrs..
