Default Introduction: SXY TIME
I'm finally getting things to where I want on the Z06, and figured it was time to move on to a new tag: SXY TIME.

I've gotten a bunch done this summer:
-Lowered to where I'm happy
-HRE 560R
-HRE "RWB" Centre Caps
-Wolfe 6pt Roll Bar
-Clear Corners
-SXY TIME tag

Pfadt sticker is temporary, and the white stripe goes down the whole car next year.

glad you're keeping the stripe, it really sets the car off from other Vette's. Sweet ride

Gotta say I like the black centers...goes well with the Z06 side vent. If you do it though, you need to ditch the white stripe.

For fun, do you mind doing the stripe in gunmetal?

I vote leave the wheels alone, and do the white stripe.

*Edit* I don't know that photoshop ^^^^^ is really sharp. That would be sick!

Damn you work quickly! Thanks DJFury!

I love the gunmetal wheels, but I much prefer the white stripe.

Now you're putting ideas in my head

I love wheels gunmetal! But if you do the wheels like that, dont do a stripe. The dark color wont pop as much on the blue. Just my $.02
