I've been hoping another one of these threads would start. I was figuring I'd have to start it...Here are some before...no slouch to begin with.













Started with stock body besides the z06 vents and c6 z06 wheels...and now, aci ground effects, L5 flares w/c6z06 mud flaps, complete black out (tinted clear coat), custom SS splitter, molded front license plate, shaved emblems, custom c5 emblems in ghost pearl on hood and decklid.

The day I bought her and the first thing to go were the BSM`s. I had them off before the first tank of gas.



The interior and my first of 2 seat changes. Took out all the light oak and went with torch red and black.


My first second and third woofer box.






Stating the rear fenders.





And now after several more mods and a bit of lowering. Still not done but happy with the end result and the trophies from shows!

Glad to see there are so many folks here tastefully modding the exterior and interior of there vette !

Here is a pic of my Z06 showing how its been lowered over the years. First pic is from the first day I got it off the dealers lot... It also shows how the exterior modding has progressed.

Look closely.. there are a lot of things done...!
