Took the car out for her first bath of the season. Had to snap a few pics. New Spoiler from C7 Carbon is now installed! Upgrading to C6 Z06 brakes this week!!!

Hi All,

Had my Forgestar wheels fixed & powdercoated earlier this month. Finally got them mounted up this weekend, I'm loving this look!!

It’s a little too bold for me, but it does make the car stand out and I do like the style of the wheels. As long as you like it, that is the main thing.

I like it. I've always enjoyed bold colors on wheels and shoes.

LOVE THE LOOK!!! Glad to see someone else who likes bold colors for their wheels. I can't make up my mind what color I want to refinish my wheels. Torch Red is such a tough color to work with...if only my car was white or grey. But I digress...OP, what front splitter is that? Your whole overall look is pretty great...aggressive but not full blown track aggressive. I really dig it.

Thanks! Splitter is from forum vendor C7 Carbon, not sure which edition but it's the newest one he's launched. I added the strut rods to the front of it (ordered from APR Performance)

Cool Thanks. I'll look into it. Any clearance issues? That would be my biggest concern being as low as I am...front bolts removed and extended rear bolts.

I've got the same setup as you. It's certainly low, so I've been extra careful. Been running it for about a month now and haven't bottomed out on it yet (fingers crossed)
