That might look good, but i think the red side markers blend in with his red painted calipers. Clean car.

Very nice clean car!

I would stick with the ZR1s and upgrade to some 11" wide rears, I also agree with the chrome SS badges, chrome complements blue very nicely. Never liked the clear lights though, borderline rice IMO.

If I could pick my collor over again it would have to be blue.

Looks good. Mature mods. I hear pacesetter's aren't too bad lowered. I can't say the same for the TSP ory. If your ory tucks well or if you want to try the pacesetter y-pipe, you should be able to do a modest drop (1-1.5 in.) without too much trouble.

drop it and just be careful with the headers. get the 18 z06's and lose the zr1's and you'll be set. i dont see too many z06 setups around here either so you'll be pretty safe as far as not having what everyone else does...if you look at it like that. chrome z06's look really good on the NBM cars..IMO

looks nice korey! weren't you trying to decide on duals!? or am i just remembering wrong..

Looks good. Just needs a few finishing touches. I've done up a concept with a different wheel size and ride height. Let me know what you think

keep the ZR1's, the car is perfect. An inch drop will be plenty.

Nah I wanted them but didnt want to deal with emissions. If I would of went with the duals I would have to swap that for the stock catback when I get emissions tested. I am probley going to have to put the stock manifolds back on when I get tested already, so its just one less thing that I would have to deal with. Thanks for comment Adam I appreciate it .

Yep its garage kept. I do my best to keep it clean but no matter how hard I try some bird will **** on it, or some sprinkler will go off on it - never fails . Thanks again for all the comments you guys are giving me, I really appreciate it!!!! I think in the end I will just go with the lift and the small *** tires .
Oh 99ssleeper you car looks really nice .
