Default New Z06 project:
Here's a Z06 in right now:





This is before adding a dark candy blue over the flames to tone it down as subtle as you want and then it's cleared & polished to a perfect high gloss finish.

We can do anything you imagine....just give us your ideas & we can put it together.:thumbs:

Doing heads/cam ported intake & our 95mm billet TB....Kooks & 150 shot.

Pfadt coil overs & sway bars.....

That looks waaaay cool. Too bad you can't keep the headlights with a ghost flame.

A little too over the top for me, but I'd like to see the finished product.

And the finished product! (we don't have the emblems on yet).

The pictures still make it look like to much, but in person it is awesome.

Damn, that car is ruined.

I barely understand flames on 50's hotrods, but on a modern sports car its flat out retarded.


In my opinion, of course.

Awesome work!

Terrible taste though. I bet its a 50 yr old guy.

Good luck with him selling it or trading it in. Unless another 50 yr old guy sees it ofcourse. (I could be wrong)

flames on a c6 generally = fail. MAYBE if they were really ghosted. ASIDE from that, the work seems rather amazing. Good job, and I bet the customer is really happy, and thats more important than pleasing people on LS1 tech



P.S. I think if the wheels were chrome it would blend with the paint a ton better.

The paint has to please the owners....we do anything you can think of....mild to wild. All is the same flawless quality though.
