A hundred hp doesnt make the difference...fender flare aint it...
wheels are available in StuzVette sizes...
..AND it requires personalization...
We are at a cross road...StuzVette and me...
Move on...or endure the major mods...
...I let the cat out of the bag earlier...
the next mod, although not a wide body kit...
...would require cutting into the rear coupe window...
It is the FRC...with rear deck...
...imagine...replacing the rear window with the rear window of a C5 Z06... hinge similarly and shape to permit the rear deck to open...as it does now....
....what do you think?

You know you can still outline the headlight covers, brake cooling ducts, ... keep looking man there's a whole new world out there. Maybe stickers??

Hey Stu!
I wish I had your dilemma!
If I wasn't married and saving up/looking for a house, I'd either buy a C6 Z06 in lemans blue or, I'd spend the money on putting an LS7 crate engine in my baby. Sure, you can get a C5-R crate engine right now but its not the same as actually having an actual Z06 engine in there. Then, I'd get some wide body panels from APC and maybe some new wheels. There's still so much you can do to your vette to personalize it but if you're ready for something completely different, go with a C6 Z06. Just don't go too crazy with the appearance mods (except for wheels). Stuzvette looks awesome just as it is.

...yea I guess as dilemma's go...this is the kind to have!
In fact, I think you too have hit on something...
I like the mods that dont yell at you...
...so how do I keep modding without yelling
and a simple 2006 C6 Z06 would be nice...
...hmmm Stuz666 ..Im not superstitious...
