Cool Detoxx got a widebody and wheels

Picked it up earlier this morning but I went to get a alignment and get my wheel sensors set. They did an amazing job and i'm very happy with my wheel/color choice. 2008 C6 with rear Z06 quarters paint matched and blended on the car.

Wheels are CCW SP16a 19x10 front on 275/30/19 NT05's and 19x13 rear on 345/30/19 NT05R's The finish is competition grey and I added carbon corvete emblems. Next will be tinting the tails and sidemarkers and the appearance part is pretty much done cause it makes okay power for now. Hope you enjoy and comment as you please.

Before:
pic before CCW put tires on them and sent them out






During the process:







Completed:






Just some quick cell phone pics for now. I'll have a real shoot done sometime this weekend

looks sorta funky, i think it needs more meat on the rear tires to help with that wheel gap.

More meat than 345's? I still needs time for the suspension to settle but its lowered as far as it will go until I decide on a set of coilovers. Plus here in New Orleans the streets are pretty bad and at its current height I can get around pretty well.

I meant sidewall height.

The gap will close a little once the suspension settles but its lowered as far as it will go without aftermarket bolts or coilovers.

I can't wait to do the full shoot Sunday.

I thought I was going to be the only one posting up that I'm not crazy about it.. I'm not sure what it is that has it "off" to me, but something is.

It looks tons better, just not what I expected for some reason.

I'm perfectly fine with not everyone liking it. All opinions and thoughts are appreciated. I love it though.

I can tell Those pix just don't do it justice.

However, I do think a gloss black would have looked better.

Either way, in for better pix!

Props, I knew you wouldn't dissapoint with the new ride. Truthfully i'm not in love with it but thats just because some of its not my style, but I fully appreciate others going big with their rides and expressing their style in a classy way like you have done.

I think it looks mean as hell. Yeah, Nola roads are pretty bad so you cant go super low unless you want to tear stuff up.

No I'm done with modding the exterior. I like to keep things simple.
