Your Boyd Coddington's are custom made?
I purchased the Boyd Coddingtons and Nittos used. They were originally custom built for a 2008 C6z.

Ha that is part of why I say almost done. Removing the BSM is on my list but I can't quite bring myself to pulling them.
The other mod on my list is side skirts, I purchased a used set that needed some work done to them. I've repaired them but again can't quite bring myself to installing them. I am thinking that will start to take it over the top. We'll see!!!!

I did drop a few dimes on the mods but saved a lot of money by doing most of the work myself.

Always wondered what flares and tail feathers would look like on my FRC. Now, I know!

I agree with your assessment. I've never see a C5 with side skirts that looked better than without. The car is pretty borderline over-the-top as it is, I'd leave it

Overall, a nice job. I am surprised, however, that nobody's mentioned the clunky looking piece around the exhaust tips. Looks totally home-made.

I am a guy who accepts performance mods, not chrome, and carbon fiber covers, etc. My cars have performance mods that cannot be seen. With that said you have a very impressive looking car that is directed at performance so you get my complete approval.

Thanks, those are nice wheels. I visited their site, that's why I thought those were custom built.
