Looks great. Very original and I like the fixed roof halo effect!

Now maybe a set of black spider wheels or black wheels with polished lips?

Wow.... and I wasn't the only one in the room who said that either. My wife isn't a fan of pearl white (CTS's) but she thought the new paint job was fantastic.

I must also add how awesome the roof looks blacked out. I've been seriously contemplating getting mine done, though I've seen plenty of coupes do their halo's. Haven't seen enough FRC/Z06's to really make a judgement. But thanks to you I have a much better idea what my SW Z will look like. Not to mention the front splitter and skirts are exactly what I want.

Dear Lord if you have L5's or TPE's, along with either RPI's wing, or CarbonCreations new built in duckbutt spoiler bumper....you would have one serious turkey neckin, whip lash inducing ride. Not that it isn't already but you know what I mean.

Great job man.

I've never been much of an FRC guy, but with the black top and satin white body it resolved whatever my eye didn't like...that car is FRACKIN SWEET!!!

I kinda liked it when it was matte but don't blame you for going the clear coat route for the durability aspect. Very well done and it is nice to see someone post pics of a mod you don't see everyday. You've done well and I bet it looks way better in person too.
