Default new upgrades!

Hey guys i just bought my zo6 in late december. Since then i have purchased a couple of upgrades and cant wait to get them all on. I just wanted to share with you guys to see what you guys think.
Here she is when i got her.


Then i purchased a carrivagio spoiler from the group purchase on the site from autobuffs ( I love this site and auttobuffs)((Not my cars))


Then i picked up the carbon fiber brake ducts.


Next ordered the ipod adapter ( not that pretty looking but worth it)

Just picked these rims up from another member on here( Thanks Joe)


Just emailed the member to get this done also.( 9 piece black out set)


Next up im thinking of either a carbon fiber front lip or rear bumper fascia. Thanks for letting me share guys.

Love the car. I am biased towards the EB though Can I get more info on that iPod adapter? Does it just adapt to the stock radio or what is it? Cuz I sure hate radio stations, and my double din dash screen wont fit unless i get a new bezel...

Nevermind, just did a little research. Looks like it just hooks up to stock radio, and then you can control it from there. That's pretty much what I'm looking for. My screen would look nice in there but for 100 dollars less, this seems more sensible. And at least I'll still have my iPod.

I just installed the ipod adapter and it actually works pretty well and is truly plug-n-play.

Yea but for $190, I could get the double din bezel mod. Thats what I was referring to as being 100 dollars more. I will probably end up with the stock radio with iPod controls and save the 100 for another mod and just throw the screen in the wife's civic.

You dont like the side moldings??

Hey Bullitt, where did you run your iPod chord to? Was the install or the routing hard?

Actually the pics of the wheels you purchased and the shot of the EB Z with the Caravaggio spoiler is the same car and belongs to the AutoBuffs Internet sales manager (Z06Joe@AutoBuffs)

As for the light Paint order...did you order these? I dont recall but then again Im getting old and my memory is fading me Thank god Jan handles that stuff and the red Z is the AutoBuffs shop car as well

Thanks for all of your business my friend
