Okay so I'm cheating. I posted before but I've seen so many white C7's with Black Vents, Black Spoilers, Black Mirrors and worst of all Black Wheels that I just want to show everyone how good Body Colored Vents and Shinny Polished Aluminum Wheels look on a C7.

To Walt White Coupe...a bit to vanilla for me, but as it is your choice I think it is great. The C7 looks good with just about any color combination.
I prefer polished wheels on black/dark blue cars. My '15 Regal GS has 20" wheels that are almost doubles of your polished ones, it is a black car and really pops with them.

Quick stock bolt lowering today... Came down 3/4" or so. I think I'll cut the rear bolts down to get it another 1/4" or so, but at least the only 4x4 now is the Jeep!

Side note: I really dig the bolt design of the C7 over the C5 in the rears. Those who have ever slammed a C5 with long bolts know that you can wreak havoc on the rims. The "captured" system like the front is a huge improvement...

Oh and I left myself plenty of room to make it out of the driveway (at least 1mm)! HA

Yeah, these full on white vettes are cool. I like the chrome badges and polished rims on Walt's. Nice to see something so utterly different look great. Very clean looking.

I saw an all black Z06. Looked like sleek combat. Wish I could have an all back Z and an all white stingray depending on my whim.

PERFECT! I'm considering going about 0.0005" lower still

Actually, I may lower the rear about 3/8" more. This will settle it a bit but also lift the front end off the ground just a bit. Used to do the same in the C5 world and it made a HUGE difference in the 'angled driving' we become accustomed to on the lowered vetted.

Your second pic has the plate much lower on the front grille which looks so much better. Was that the case with your car? In other words were they both offered with the car? I will probably end up with a Top Flight mount like I had with my 07 and it shows lower like yours on the grille. Beautiful car you have enjoy!
