Default It's a good darn thing I have a warranty!

It's a good darn thing I have a warranty on my ZO6. I can tell you this if I didn't I would be mucking up the motor next, with either a supercharger or etc.

I just got my ZR1 roof and halo on courtesy of RichieRichZ06. The install wasn't too bad and took me about an hour. Little bit of transferring stuff from one to the other, but pretty straight forward. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the install, but I'm a get it done kind of guy.

So I've now added: Carravagio Seats (wheel on the way), ZO7 brakes, ZR1 Comp Grey wheels, Michelin PS2's, B & B Fusion, and the ZR1 roof and halo. Nothing left to muck up imo.

Here's a whole bunch of pictures of the resultsand yes that's a real pelican in the background)

Dam that is one sweet Z06. I can many mods in your future. With all those performance mods do you track it? The ZR1 brakes have to be killer on a big road course.

That is "bad to the bone" sweet! I really like the way the silver, black, and carbon fiber all blend together and contrast perfectly. Nice taste in every sense of every mod.

Photo skills are great too!

Very nice! Something additional you might want to consider is adding a color matched ZR-1 rear spoiler!

Black out those marker lights and she would be about perfect. That is a really sweet set up you got going there.

I sold him the Z07 brakes, ZR1 roof and the halo panel. I think it turned out great.

Brian (The OP) I think all you need now is a set of black headlights to round it off.

Thanks for the good words all, and of course the suggestions . I have to say I am pretty happy with the results.

Here's a closer up picture of the roof/halo, and some of the seats.













Definitely contact RichieRichZO6 for all you GM stuff...that's where I get mine.. Nothing better then Carravaggio on interior stuff either. I got his wheel in today, and will snap a couple shots once installed.
