Confused!
I need input guys. I want to go two directions with this car, but I can't figure out which one I like more.
The car is completely stock in appearance, except its lowered. It has one hell of a punch... I kinda want to reflect that. Now, I could go chrome and black (clear corners, chrome z06 wheels). I think this is a flashy approach, but it doesn't seem so... aggressive. I have always liked the black and chrome, so I originally started going this route. I purchased chrome clear corners, and real close to getting some chrome Z06 wheels. But I'm having second thoughts.
I have been seeing more and more Z06 with the factory wheels powder coated black, with the black outs for the lights... and its really starting to grow on me...
Whats your favorite and why? I'm real curious to see what the general census says. Yes I know its really up to me, but I don't mind hearing input!

Well you said it...it's your choice. 
The choice for my Z was Black/chrome. However, I've seen beautiful black/black combo's.
Take a look around for the pic threads, you'll see the best looking cars around. The different combinations will give you some ideas to make yours exactly what you want.
Looking forward to some pics of yours when you are done.

My car is red, so this might not be apply but, when I had the Z06 chrome rims on my car, people would give me compliments everywhere, even at stop lights. I only put the stock Z rims back on the car for weight savings, but I think I'm going back chrome.

Interesting.
Thanks for all the input. I was woundering if any-one has pictures of a black z06 with black powdercoated wheels and blackouts... I searched the forum for a while last night... but couldn't really dig up much.
