1st mods installed
Thanks to Pete. On taking care of my order. 1st pic is what I started with. I've installed flared rears the zr hood. Lowering bolts in rear. Fronts bolts are removed. 5% tint. Z06 rear stick on vents. Gold lug nuts. LG wheels 18x10 and 19x12. Tinted rear tails. And quad 3.5inch exhaust tips with muffler delete. Also short throw. But no pics of it installed. Have 243 heads. But don't know if I'll use them. Did get to install ls6 intake tho. Let me know what u think. More to come in the near future

Since you asked: fenders and hood look great, wheels are nice and stance is 
.
Don't really care for the stick on Z06 rear brake ducts or the gold lugs, but as long as you like them, that's what it's all about.

Yea stick ons were to see if I liked the look before I cut my car to do the rear ducts. Gold isn't everyone's taste. Didn't get around to painting my brakes. But they will prob be gold too. I appreciate ur comment tho

Wow! You just went for the juggler and nailed it! What a change. Even though I'm not a fan of black wheels I think you have done an awesome job. Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming.

I love the fenders and wheels ! can these be installed without getting wider wheels? or would the fenders look stupid and stick out too much with stock wheels? by the way I also have the Z06 stick on scoops but I didn't put them on cause I don't want people

Well definitely different, what hood is that? Looks familiar... Is it a corvette creationz hood as well? Well now you know the Z06 brake ducts look good on the FRC C5's. Cut it out and finish the job so they're functional. Not sure why some of the coupe guys stick those on their cars, it just doesn't look right.
As far as wheels and fenders are concerned I like it. Gold lug nuts are a bit loud but I've seen worse. Overall nice round of mods.

Yeah it's the same hood a friend of mine was running. Be careful with it at high speeds. My friends buckled at roll racing event a few weeks back, those hoods are definitely not meant for speed.
