Maybe to tone it down a bit you could do some nice black rims and paint the sail panel black?

And I gotta ask, what happened with the 350Z plans?
The 350Z was a nice car, but I'm 6'4 215, and while the vette isnt much larger, I have some more leg room. Plus I've missed the LS1 rumble since the day I parted ways with the trans am.

The WS6 was an A4 so to me it feels like a major difference going into an M6. I think the Vette is lighter as well so it does feel like it has some more juice, but it could possibly be the difference in trans.

Haha, yup that color was teh creme de la creme

Car is a b-e-a-u-t-y man Have fun! I like the bike in the background too
Thanks man. Im trying to sell the bike so I park the baby and buy a daily driver, an old yota.

I'm getting the windows tinted next week, either 5 or 20. I'm really leaning on 5 though. After that I'm kind of feeling black Z06 wheels with chrome lip, or the BBS with the 2 inch lip. The sail panel has crossed my mind, but I'm not to sure how much is involved in that and how much it will cost. Any ideas anyone?

My bad, a friend of mine who owns a 2010 camaro told me they were magnesium. I guess I should have done some research first.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

those are nice wheels though, unlike the c5z wheels

get the same wheels in deep dish machined or polished or you could slap on some c6 wheels...it's amazing how much freshness they add to the c5 look

YES! Deep-dish Y2K C5 wheels look amazing.

Thanks for the tips guys. After looking at some pics, I've decided on 17x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear, on the black with chrome lip c5 deep dish.

Those wheels should look very nice!!

I personally don't like yellow, but have seen some yellow vette's dressed up pretty nicely

Agreed. The 'Vette is probably the only car I can think of domestically that can get away with being yellow...
