If you count 01-04 z06 there's plenty more.
Made money on a black '00 FRC with factory magnesium wheels.
That car was a looker. Lowered and those wheels really matched the car.

I have one of the 489 Black FRC's made in 2000, have had it since 2001, bought it with 13k miles. It now has 154K and I have loved every minute of putting the miles on the car.

Just remember, black FRC's become white once they grow up, kinda like one of them Lipizzan horsies....

Hey thanks for the compliment boys, for a higher mileage car she cleans up ok! Love my 2000.
To me, the 99-00 FRC has a more "refined" look than the 01-04 Z06. Less of the "boy racerish" vents, grilles, etc.
For all the 99-00 FRC fans in here, be sure to check in at the Appreciation Thread and post some pics of your fixed roof.

Those C6 wheels look right at home on the FRC. Are you lowered all the way down on stock bolts?

Longer rear bolts, front bolts removed. I want to go lower.
I too love the C6 wheels. I'm currently refinishing a set of the original N73 Magnesium wheels, that were ordered with the car. But, in a square setup (18x9.5 all around on some 275s).
Pretty much everything is documented in my "build" journal

Is your front airdam removed? I'd like to lower mine, but that thing scrapes getting off my driveway as is.

The side fronts I removed the first week I had the car. The middle airdam is still intact and scrapes only on steep driveways, so I take them at an angle. It's not a wonderful sound but I know it's plastic, moveable, and robust so I don't worry too much about it. If it ever fails on me, I'll replace it.
