not to defend him either, but what if hes just a guy who knows nothing about cars and did send it to a shop and having the shop rip him off from not knowing about cars? pretty bad for the shop and himself to not know.

For the record I am not saying the guy was a total douche, because he was EXTREMELY nice to me, especially when I told him about my SC Corvette I had just sold for the sedan that just raped him. Like I said he was misguided.....still, this thread has provided tons of entertainment for us all.

Looks like a owner made z06.
They do have some z06 convertables that are carvaggio conversions but they are very RARE.

my car came this way ... you can still kinda make out the outline of the badges.. Car sits on Y2ks and has painted (red) calipers with fake slotted/drilled rotors.. last but not least stick on brake vents... the brake vents were gonna be removed but i fear that their could be some damage behind them or some weird markings that will show up when i remove them...


I have some body work planned for my car... wide body, hood, front bumper and sideskirts... should look sick then.. Until then the ricer vents stay on

I thought the ZO6 could be ordered with Sport Seats, aka ones with openings at the top.
