Nice improvements! I like the clear corners. How much of a PITA were they to install? I'm having Vararam flashbacks at the thought of installing them!

Do you have more pics of the tailpipes? Btw, those rims look awesome. I wanted them but over my budget.

The first set are C6Z replica's in 18x9.5 and 19x11. Tires are Hankook 305/30/19 and 265/30/18. Offsets If I remember correctly are 64 mm rear and 56 front. They were made for the C5.

Love this look.
The new look I am not a fan of. It's all personal preference but I think the polish lip ruins the whole look.
Love the black tips.
