Verrry Nice!!
Have you done anything to make the car's stance look different than stock? It looks really good. Seems lowered or just maybe wider tires and wheels. Looks fantastic!

Hello,
Your car looks great. Its a dead ringer for mine but I have chrome zr1 wheels. I like these cars best with the belt line painted the same as the car.

Or perhaps even better with the belt line molded in? I don't know if you have seen that black car with the molded fender flares everyone seems to be posting recently... - - - - And to me the car does look a little lower than stock (but I have never seen those wheels before either -- maybe that is doing something to my eyes like someone else mentioned above). Anyway -- looks good

Very, very nice. Hope the graffiti artists who decorated that garage door don't get to your Vette!

Be well,
