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!!
there is a guy who specializes in corvettes nearby....but that may mean the price will be up there...you have inspired me to do some research now....great job!!!

You can't fit a Maggie under the stock hood, but I think they look awesome.

So I see you won't be needing them black wheels anymore. How much with shipping to 85283. That is if they are for sale.
