Great color.

I've been looking at C6's lately and the prices, in the scheme of things, are better than C5's. But I will not let my FRC go so I have to wait. Bummer.

Wow! What a great color for a C6. Congrats on the new purchase. I like the combo of the wide rear quarters and standard width front.

The Z51 badges from a distance, looks like a Z06 badge. with the wheels and the rear quarter panels, people would think it to be a Z06 until they got up close. I want to remove them, because I don't like the idea that people would think I was trying to pass it off as a Z06. Just me, but they will be gone in the next day or so.
Confused people will know soon enough, without the Z hood. No, I was asking about the scoops on the FRONT fenders. Those aren't standard C6, are they? Just rechecked your picture, and I see it's the emblem that makes the front scoop look different.

As I said in your other thread, that C6 is one very nice looking car. I kind of like the Z51 emblem, but I can see where it could get confused with a Z06 one from a distance.
