I like what you have done to it. I know there will be some that have negative comments because of the C6 looks, but in my opinion, it is well done and I love the color.

Love the color combo, but not sure if it is the direction I would have went.
Are you planning on replacing the wheels. The stock 5 spokes looks very out of place on your car now.

Looks great. Love the color and CF ground effects.

However those rear quarters and now begging for some beefier rubber!
