The wheels, red spoiler and red rear don't work well for me.

Unfortunately that's pretty typical of his comments. OP, car looks nice and it's cool to see something a little different!

Sorry you guys are offended I'm sure not everyone likes my car. It's a open forum and unless it's tacky I'm usually upbeat sorry I didn't follow the crowd on this one and looks like others agree.

Hey c6bound do you go to the Saturday meets on Jefferson? If not check it out lots of sweet cars. Ill be around again when my pile is done with this round of mods. Should be a few weeks oh and also...http://truestreetcars.com/ but Ill warn you it's not all flowers and sunshine like it is here

Car looks good, but rear wheels look too small or offset is wrong-IMO

thanks for the comments, all of them. this is a prime example of why baskin robbins offers 31 flavors. wheels are 12.5 rear and I will probably add spacer to bring out further or put wider tire when available. for the hater, these are not chrome, they are high quality 3 piece high polished. wish I could afford better camera but my phone is best I have for now. guess I should plasti dip them black and then everyone would be happy with the wheels. it is lowered also on west coast bolt kit. the plate also was from the 2008 z06 that was just sold. this car is about to run 9's very very soon. will post the video for you doubters on that one too

I think it is a very good looking car. If it was mine, I would be very proud!
