Car looks awesome, although the wing is too big for my tastes. I just got the ACI low profile spoiler. I've never seen painted rear brake duct bezels painted body color; could just grow on me....

One guy bashed him for starting a new thread.
One guy bashed him for the big wing on the back.
I thought I'd get in a gig on the C6 emblem.

None of it is for me, but I like the color change from shade to sun.

Have to admit, it is a nice looking ride, minus the wing, and why the C6 emblem on a beautiful C5?

I disagree. I think the C5 badge is one of the best looking ones that GM came up with. You can tell that the C5 overall was well thought out during the design process and they didn't sacrifice any design money or time when it came to the badge, IMHO.
