Hey everyone, I just took some pics of the Vette with the mods I've done so far. The pictures turned out OK, but I would like to get some better 'Beauty Pics'. Anyway, let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Chris

Wow, thanks for all the great comments. The wheels are iForged Aeros, high polished finish, 19"x9.5" with 2" lip front and 19"x10.5" with 3" lip rears. Tires are BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW2 255/35-19 and 285/35-19.

The front is lowered with 2/3's cut bushings in the front, and longer bolts in the rear...I'd guess somewhere between 1.5"-2" overall.

Your car looks great. I am not a spoiler fan but I must admit the complete package enhances the look of your car without over doing it.
