Anyone know this vette?
Saw this on a google image search I did and was wondering if anyone else has ever seen it. Im pretty sure the rims are CCW 505a's. But no idea on the size or the suspension. Anyone know what he has on his side view mirrors??
Thanks all

It looks like the side view mirrors have the stretch fabric cover protectors on. Also avail. for the front end from different vendors. Can't tell you much about the wheels but I'm sure someone else will.

They're used while driving to prevent bugs and scratches but they can be stolen easily since they apply with velcro. You can take them off when you park to be safe.

Click on the side mirror covers. It seems they stretch over the back of the mirror and tuck in behind the glass on the front.

If you're thinking of protecting the paint, get some of the clear paint protecting material put on (there's various threads discussing the plusses and minuses of various brands), that way you don't have to worry about something that's been velcro'd on getting stolen or yanked off.

I think you'll find that the sideview mirrors take just as much if not more pounding tham the front of the car. At least that has been my experience. Until I went with the "clear bra" type of product I used the protectors on the sideview mirrors on long trips.,

Hey...here to solve the mystery for you. He is a forum member. Some of the best wheels I have seen!!!
Foo King Z06
CCW SP 500's. They are powerdercoated flat black inside, gloss lip and the red stripe is a pinstripe. Proformance did the wheels give them a call if you want 1(914)654-1010 ask for George
He was my influence but went with gloss black. I had my guys paint the pinstripe.
