I like the end result. A very positive change and it's now a car that will appeal to many more buyers should you decide to sell.

The original stripes didn't work on that car. They didn't follow body lines and the lighter shade ones originated in different manners and didn't follow the same degree/angle. The tail lights were outdated and pretty much rice the day they left the factory. I think the wheels made the car look heavy. Too baller, not enough "go fast".

You really cleaned the car up and the current stripe works great with that body line. The C6 wheels look 10x better. The SS spoiler is popular for a reason. It's one of the nicest looking spoilers. Your car came out very well. Good job!

Thanks! I couldn't agree with you more. It goes to show hard work pays off. But I do wish sometimes all the money I dumped into the car went towards performance mods. lol
