Looks great! Maybe black rear fascia would be in order - really make the exhaust stand out.

I had a local paint shop do it, from what I understand they just fix a little black tint in with clear until they get the desired darkness, then just ruff sand then spray them.

Very clean looking, best choice for oem style wheels. and a nice stance!!

What is different about C6 rear bolts and I see another vehicle with a "SECRET" tag.

One of the advantages of C5 over C6 is the placeholder on the front and back for the CORVETTE letters. Those were my first mods. Love the CORVETTE brand come alive after.
