I'd be interested in seeing the stripe on the inside of that outer lip instead of right on the edge. So you'd have tire, chrome, red, chrome....??

On the fence. I like the idea, but maybe some tweaking is in order?

I think that would give it a different perspective.

I just looked up C5's on google and almost all the STOCK Vettes look just like mine... Im not into dropping the height so it lays on the ground - I want the look of stock.

If your telling me that my C5 is higher than stock - then we can absolutely talk - if your telling me to lower it just to change a "look" - then I respectfully decline.

I ask because look at this picture from a few months ago - does my suspension look high in this photo?

Your car looks great in this photo. I personally would not mess with the height. Showing the whole car without the red strips on the rims and the bra really brings out the beauty of your car. You can tell that it is meticulously maintained and the changes that you have made (ie; rims and calipers) that are reflected in the picture just add to the overall look without being gaudy. NICE CAR!

I'm not a vert guy but I have to admit, I like the looks of your car.
