Default Ok guys what u think about my car




its come a long way. Most you guys killed me about the old light so I changed them. Glad I did. But it’s a 2002 with 07 z06 wheels and tires. And yes they fit on the rear. The car was jacked up and then lowered so the fun is a little higher than it should be it did not settle down yet. Got to get a front in alignment done.

Love the color, and the paintwork looks good, but I just don't think the hood goes with the car at all.

I can respect that. I love the look. And feel it changes the look a lot. And I have not seen one like it yet. I like different.

Much better than it did. Paint turned out nice.

I'd cash out the hood but that's just me.

Nice ride but I would have lost the hood when the lights were restored.

I like the hood. It's a great visual change and identifies the car as yours instead of looking like everybody else's. Don't listen to what others like, do what YOU like.

I like it. Like it a lot. The hood looks like it could allow you to put a Maggie under there.

Wow what a transformation. Very nice and I really like the hood and C6Z rims. Looks much better with the stock pop up headlights! The paint looks great. I havent seen a C5 with such bad paint as your before pictures. Very nice job restoring / rescuing that C5.
How is the interior? What have you done to it mechanically? How many miles are on the car?

There's nothing wrong with that hood (IMNSHO) especially if there something under there to fill it up.
