I changed to blk too, but cheaped out on the cup wheels.

Those look really nice. Atomic Orange rocks, although i didnt want an orange vette......... at first.

Thank you for the compliments. Unfortunately I bought the light kit in early 15 and the seller is not around ebay anymore. They have been awesome. They let the light through both day and night very well.

Looks great! I'm interested in your emblems. Did you paint them or purchase them?
Thanks

I cannot find a 19x12 CF5 (or any rear 19 CF5) online for the z06 and I've spent many hours looking and I just get more confused the more I look. I was going to settle for a 18/18 set up but the 18/19 looks so much better.

and as for the base with Z body pannels, the most car I've driven aggressively is my crown Vic (hence my username) and I used to throw around 2012 Acura TSX 2.4 on back roads (which was pretty freakin fun belive it or not). Not trying to be a poser, I just don't want to jump straight into a C6Z and kill my self..but I'm a sucker for the wide body because the base it too plain IMO. And I'm paying cash and don't want a car payment
