BTW those water blades **** me off, I ran a 12" scratch down my door and didn't even know it atleast some scratch X and the NXT convered it up real well.

That I am not sure of, the hood is technically not factory paint, It's a Lingenfelter Vette and the hood is the aftermarket RK sport one they use, so I think the color is slighlty off. Yeah the front clip looks a bit more silver than pewter, but depending on the lighting my car (same color) looks way more gold/pewter than silver.

Was most certainly criticizing. I just did not know if it was the shading or not. Both rides look clean! Congrats!

No that's cool, we said the same thing the other day

My theory is the 500+hp is stripping the paint right off the front hehe.

When I bought the vette I knew the nose was repainted. It doesn't match great depending on the lighting. Some angles you can't see, others really stand out. That's pewter for you.... I'll get it repainted some day. Like Dan said, the hood was put on at LPE with 0 miles on it. They blend the colors into the fenders from what I've read. That or it's the HP that's wearing it off.

Yeah, the rims are on the list. C6 Z06 looks like the way I'll go although I like the C5 Z06 rims as well. Next winter's plans along with some new rotors/pads.

Thanks again for the pics Dan.

Thanks. I got it back in July 06'.

Brent, good to know about the replicas. Did yours bend or did the finish not last?
