That looks really great
. From black, to white, perfection is the key here, your Vette looks really nice 
. My brother in California knows a guy who bought a Yellow C6Z06, and did the same thing, a complete paint job, to white. His is sharp also.

Thanks so much for the positive replies. It makes me love it that much more.
I had the centers of the CCW's powdercoated gloss black, and I also have a CCW drag pack that I had those centers Powdercoated gloss black too. The wheels are 18's all around. I think 10" wide in front and 12" rears but can't really remember right now. Tires are 285/30 KDWII's and 335/30 Hoosier drag radials!! For 760+ rwhp, the drag radials hooked pretty well. I just pulled the motor to change some stuff and up the boost. So I'm looking for approx 900rwhp!!!!

The hood isn't for everyone, I bought it bc I needed more clearance for the meth nozzle that I mounted on top of the intake tube for some reason.. Oops..

Yes, you should do that to your 05. BUT you need to find the right guy to do the job.. If I ever sell/trade the car for a C6Z, it's going white too, by the same guy.
Total paint job is roughly $7k but everyones prices will vary. Some less, some more!! Just make sure they've done corvettes before!! Good luck with your quest!!

I like it much better in artic white - looks great. Besides, it will be so much easier to keep looking good.
