Well after selling the C7 I decided to go off in a different direction on this Z06/Z07 with the color. For those that don't know me very well I only have black vehicles. But after seeing a 458 Spider in white with blue stripe and blue and white interior I new that is what I wanted to build. here is what we will be doing.
Engine
Halltech CAI
American racing headers
LPE 720hp kit

Exterior
our carbon skirt package tinted blue
blue accents
some new exterior treatments that will be a surprise
20" and 21" one piece forged wheels with center knock offs

Interior
Complete interior done in blue with white stitching and white with blue stitching
All carbon pieces will be tinted blue
Alcantara carpets

I need to up the anti after this last car

Hey John.

I notice on the wheels no holes for lugnuts. Are you switching that out to a center locking wheels? Is that a big job to do? I was thinking centre knock offs were a style of centre caps.

Default Caliper painting

Hey John,
I know you pinged me on my other thread about caliper painting. That caliper looks really nice. Can we connect and let me know what would it cost to paint the calipers Daytona Sunset Orange with Corvette script for my calipers.

Can we connect and chat.

I was at Johns shop this afternoon and saw the car in person. It's looks stunning!!

Johns eye for design and attention to detail is unmatched.

I now look for reasons to visit his shop so I can see what he is working on.

Can't wait for my Caravaggio Z06 steering wheel in Spice red.
