Default Very Nice

SleeperC5, these are very nice pics of your pride and joy. I noticed the center console contains what looks like a radio/navigation unit. I'm interested in a similar setup. Can you provide info or closeup pics of your install? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and happy cruising!

Yes you are correct..from ZO6 repro to GM painted thin spoke wheels to show more of my rotors and calipers.
The TS are painted Sebring Silver same as my car.
These will be easier to clean for car shows.

I got them from a forum member who bought them slipped them on and didn't like the color match with his ride and put them up for sale and I was lucky
