Nice look, are those OEM C6Z06 wheels or repro? Are you sandblasting the rear quarter with those wide ones?

There repro but not too heavy and much cheaper than oem. No, I just get that stringy rubber a little bit.

Looks good. The only thing id do (besides the obvious tip alignment) is black out the reverse/3rd/side lights to continue the theme.

I will probably black out the reverse lights but keep the third light and side markers red to go with the red pin stripe and red corvette letters.
