Great looking car. And I LOVE those wheels. Buttttttt... I think the BSM's would have made it look even better. Just my thoughts.

looking good. You may want to check the right exhaust pipes (they look a little low) You might get your local exhaust shop to weld a support brace between the left and right pipes.

You might want to consider the raised C5 logos. That's what I'm running with on my C6Z06 Motorsports.

What's your roof look like? I have the peeling on the passenger side and I'm hiding it in the back of the car as I like to drive without the targa on. Maybe this winter I'll try to fix it myself.

I have a 2 tone oak/blk new interior. Wasn't planning on doing it right away but the original looked awful compared to a beautiful exterior like yours.

Wheel logos don't bother me much.....
My roof is in great shape no peeling cracking that I can see.

The majority of my mods thus far have been to the motor!!!
Don't want to make it too radical as I drive it most every day that the weather allows. I have added LS6 intake and Heads, Torquer II Cam and Springs, LT Headers, Off Road pipe (no cats), Corsa touring cat back, Cool air intake, under drive pulley. Really have been itching to take her to the track just to see what she would run????
Any guesses????

I know man.... I have adjusted that right side three or four times. Not sure if the torque from the motor keeps tweeking it off or what??? It seems to take a while to get out of adjustment, but it keeps happening?? AAARRRGGGHHH!

I did... Longer bolts in the back. Lowered all the way on the front stock bolts. Had to actually raise the rear up a bit to level it off after lowering the front . Not what I would consider slammed but maybe when I can afford the Coilovers I will get the look I really want???
