So I traded my gloss black C6 wheels for a polished set and did the hose mod. Let me know what you guys think......sorry for the crappy iPhone pic

It looks great. The polished wheels look better in my opinion. Hose mod on the rear springs? How much did it lower it?

Thanks for the info on the hose mod. An inch is about right in the rear. How did you drop the front end?

I kinda like the black better. Nice looking ride either way. Is that a factory ram air hood?

The new wheels looks a lot better. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels.

I personally liked the way it looked before, but that's just my opinion.

I like the polished better. Maybe its because I'm sick of my black wheels, but I think it goes better with the silver paint.

Car looks great!

Both look good. New photo looks better since the angle of the photo is better. Silver looks great with black or chrome wheels. Personal preference on which u like more.

I match the wheel color with the car color and the brake caliper color. I plan ahead on every part coordination.

The front is at stock height. It sits almost dead even
