Default Bored already.. what to do next

Well my car is done. Forged LME 347, Mamofied AFR 205/fast90. complete UMI suspension, Strano springs/koni' 9"rear, you name it, its done to it. Been a couple years worth of work and changes. Hasnt been done for that long and now I'm bored.

What else can I do?
My thoughts
1 It's black and was repainted earlier this summer but the sail panel crap wasnt fixed so every once in a while I see the bubbles. Plus its black and I'm bored with the color. 4-5k would get me a nice paint job. Thinking about Sunset Orange metallic or a HOK version of it.

2. c6 z06 wheels.. time to replace with Fikse profil 5' 18's

3. More power!! A procharger kit is about the same price as well.


All 3 are in the same price range with the s/c being the more than the rest, except maybe the paint job if done by a real good pro.

Or just drive it and do nothing its fine the way it is.

Well, you got the motor, you got nice rims... I think it's time for a crazy paint job. That will definitely get you some attention!

Forged 347? I think you answered your own question.

you have some pretty good power, and im with you on getting tired of the black.... it gets old quick. Id go with the HOK paint job not sure how much it cost but it would look pretty sick in kandy tangerine, and if you dont want to go with a kandy im pretty sure that tangelo looks as good as it could with out being candy.

How about them all. Just think....your current setup with Fikse wheels, badass paint and a blower. Then you can settle for the do nothing but drive it!

I'm for the power.....it looks good already.

Maybe some Hre's? I dont know, paint and rims are nice, but you said your bored. In the long run i dont think apperance will help your boredom at all, but a blower will.


Power power power!

The wheels are about 2-3k less than a s/c or paint job
