Default 02 Z28 with new shoes and a few other appearance mods

Figured since my profile pic is when my car was still stock and now i finally got rid of the stock snowflakes for these wheels plus a few other touches I'd throw up some pics and see what people think.

very very nice .. I think all you need to do is lower it a "tad" ... Either way looks clean

Looking real good, What happened to the LR quarter panel though. That looks like it might have hurt!

How hard is it to keep those wheels looking clean?

The lady that had the car before me put that there so I'm not sure how it got there however I've been looking into getting it fixed and th only thing that scares me is that there are like 13 different variances of pewter so i dont want to get it fixed and have it match like crap. Trust me thought it bugs me too lol.

I'm not sure tot ell you the truth lol, I just put them on friday but so far they really havent got dirty and when I did wash the car this weekend they were really easy to clean because there really arent any tiny cracks to get in between

Ya i never really wanted it lowered until I put these on now I feel as though it needs a small drop. My friend had the eibach pro kit on his ws6 and thats what ruined my opinion of lowing the car rode like crap and since most of the suspension parts had swivel ends on them it creaked like hell. I was looking at maybe some strano springs and bilstein hd's but I'm not sure how the ride would be?

Looking good. They wheels are easy to keep clean since they are chrome. Strano springs aren't too bad ride wise. Any lowering spring will be a little rougher but it's a sacrifice worth living with.
