I've always liked the gunmetal gray/blue match. I really like the corners as well.

Winter mods complete! New wheels etc....
I can officially say that I am done with the mods for now... HAHAH, no I'm not! 
It took a little while to get everything together but the pile of parts I accumulated over the winter is now all installed. A big thanks to:
"redrockvette" for the Comp Grey C6 Z06 wheels.
"Gene Culley" from GM Parts House for the TPMS.
"milehighZ06" for the "new to me" MGW short throw shifter.
"bigblueman" for the Custom EB painted Travel Buddy cup holder.
"JW@JWMotoring.com" for the LED foot well lights and DRL LED Switchbacks.
"CorvetteMods1" for the HID's (Fogs and low beams)
On to the good stuff...

What do you guys think??

Looks good. You may catch some not so favorable comments about the floor mats (not being OEM equip and all) but I actually like them. They go with everything perfect. Do you plan on lowering it a bit? Nice job coordinating everything together.

But like you said I think they go well. Ideally I would love to lower the car but realistically the roads/entrances to stuff around here are just way too bad. It would look wayyyy meaner if I did. Pretty big gaps 
I think that will be the main gripe.

And what a difference in ride, I'm very pleased with the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO's. Nice grip, not a lot of road noise at all and GREAT value for the $$$$.

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm sure many of the purists will not approve of the mats But like you said I think they go well. Ideally I would love to lower the car but realistically the roads/entrances to stuff around here are just way too bad. It would look wayyyy meaner if I did. Pretty big gaps I think that will be the main gripe.

I like your thinking.... That is something that would be very doable. Certainly wouldn't lower the front any but the back might be able to come down a bit!

Nice changes to your car. The new wheels look very good with the EB color.
