Looks really good. Black cars look AMAZING when they are all cleaned up. On a side note, is your rear wing bolted on or 3M? Who makes it?

I can't say I was a big fan of those HREs when you got them, but they've certainly grown on me! I really love how well your Z comes together.

Also, that is one damn clean 'Hawk! You don't see many with the 'ol lumpy spoiler. Those FM5s will look right at home too!

Thanks SVT.. you too have a Bad *** looking C5Z!! It's funny you say that about "ole Lumpy.. I have had 2-3 people w WS6's offer me $1K for that spoiler and a trade for there spoiler... I have never seen this spoiler on another Firehawk, TA... It is indeed pretty rare.

thank you for the kind words... I have some buddies helping me polish the FM5's including barrels... It will cost me a case of Dos X's...

I'll post some pics once polished and installed... Keeping the Firehawk wheels up in the garage attic...
