Default I bought a Z06 today...

Today I went crazy and bought a 2001 Z06 with just 9,900 miles. It's clean as new... Here's a bad pic from the ad. I'll post better ones soon.

Probably. I've got to figure out what to do with he holes, though... It was the only thing I didn't like... It's got really dark tint and a dual K&N intake on it along with blackout rear lights.

Congrats, get rid of the ricer wing. I would rather have holes than the wing. You can get the holes filed and the the paint touched up for a couple hundred probably.

The wing is gone! I found some black plastic plugs that fit the holes perfectly. There is still a line on both sides where the bottom of the braces attached to the car. I'm hoping they polish out. They're not too bad, but just cleaning didn't make them go away. I may end up having it patched and painted... You can't see anything unless you're looking right at it.
