Default Black 2003 Z06 after 2 weeks.............

I made some subtle changes after 2 weeks of ownership. Can you spot all of them?

As it arrived back home from the 3000 mile trip from Allentown PA.


2 weeks later

Washed, tinted, flush mounted tail lights, antenna change... and it looks like you might have driven it a few miles (slight decrease in tire tread depth) ??

Anything else? Did you change the oil???

Default rims

What type of rims are those on your car? I would like to put some on my 2001 pewter C5? Your car looks awesome. I am sure that was a pleasurable 3000 miles.

They are just the stock Z06 wheels. It was a great "bonding ride" that's for sure.

My personal opinion is blacked out lights on a black vette just kind of merges the whole back end together and makes it look bigger. A little color breaks it up some...

'course they say black is a slimming color, so there is that... you gotta do what you gotta do to make it yours!

Definitely did a nice job detailing the car. Plus the flush mount taillights, shorty antenna, and tinted windows. Very nice.

You got most of them. Turn signals? Lowered on stock bolts. It's hard to tell on black. My 99 coupe did drop lower w/ the same adjustment. No doubt the springs/shocks difference and the fact that those springs/shocks were older too.
