That hood is styled after the '67 big block Stinger hood.

If a wheel is 1/2” closer to the front of the car, then it sounds like something is bent, like a control arm.

You said that it was rough when you started. I’m guessing it was wrecked? IMO you have something left to fix. Yes, the offset on stock c6z wheels is wrong but aside from looking goofy; the issue you are having shouldn’t be happening.

Id get it to a chassis shop if it’s beyond your usual scope.

Hood, lights, and chrome wheels look tacky AF in my opinion.

I like the wheels.

Headlights look like bug eyes though.

The reason I bought a C5 instead of a C6 was the lights. I think the C5 is a sexier looking car. Wish I had the newer engine, but that can be changed. I almost never drive it at night, nor the rain, so the top is always down. Loud inside at highway speeds from wind noise, but I love it!

Stock headlights can be hard to come by, I would suggest getting the radioflyer stealths, completely lay flat and won't have parachutes up front at night. I'm gonna get them one day.

So I guess we can ignore the idea that the car is tweaked to argue over headlights. Sounds like CorvetteForum.
