looks good but it needs a polished lip, blends too much into the tires making them look like spares

NICE. I've always liked that generation of Corvette. Here's a quick chop (although crude) of the rear. Wadduya think?

DRMRMAN, may I ask where you got those wheels at because I have not seen all black Z06 ones like that at any store or on ebay. or did you paint those yourself? The only ones I can find are black with polished lip or with rivets. Thanks.

Nice looking wheels but, a little too black for me. A polished lip and chrome lugs would set 'em off.

The car needs more black to pull off the all black rims...at least some window tint.

Looks good, add some black window tint and it'll look even better.

Keep up the good work.

YAY! Im so glad you all like it so much! *sarcasm* Well Its off to a good start considering I have only had the car for a week...

Next step is smoked tails and corners... After that is a borla exhaust... Tints... ahh not my thing really but we will see! I can defiantly see how you all would like them tinted though!

Chrome lip... Over use... boring, and WAYYYY too "the thing to do"... Im actually glad that you all dont like it because it means Im doing something that not many people do!

Keep the comments coming! Good can come out of all! Including negative!

Thanks!

Joe

Needs a polished/brushed/chrome lip to make it look right, the reason its the "in thing" to do is because it looks great!

Where does one purchase "tints" lol
