Never thought I'd say this about a Vette but, it needs some lowering.

Thanks for all the compliments! I've thought about lowering the car but around where I live there are alot of rough roads and always alot of road kill in the road which would cause me to have a busted front nose or worse. However it would look really good!

As far as the pillar behind the windows, I would love to see what it would look like black! Have thought the same thing

The back tires are actually a little wider than they look. They are a 285/30/20!

Thanks,
Derek

Car looks great in yellow and chrome. Would updating your rotors to drilled and slotted look good with the rims? maybe adding yellow to your caliphers?

How wide are your wheels? Dude, I've got 285/40s on my 17x9.5s all around. Surely your wheels are wider than 9.5" ?!

The rear wheels are 9.5's. C5's come out with 17x8.5's up front and 18x9.5's out back and these rims are 19x8.5's up front and 20x9.5's out back!

I think those wheels are better suited to a Caddy or non-performance car. I don't think they match a Corvette too well.
