Nice pics! Thanks for posting them. Easy to see why it's called Oak Park. Isn't that where Frank Lloyd Wright started his architectural
career? Any of his designs near you?

Plenty, within walking distance of me... In the Summer there are several tour buses driving around the area to show the town and some of the houses he designed. I love it hear... Most weekends the car doesn't come out of the garage because of increased traffic in the area, and the fact that there are several stores, restaurants/ bars, a theater among other things within walking distance... even a grocery store across the street, therefore I don't need to drive.

I live maybe 5 minutes from a few of the most famous ones in Oak Park.

Thanks again guys...

where did you get the painted pieces on either side of your steering wheel to match the color of the car?

Forum vendor Atomicautostore did the pods and the center console... A few other vendors also sell them, Zip-Product, TKO, Southerncarparts & Gene @ GMpartshouse. Got the matching steering wheel spoke covers from Apsisusa.

Yours looks sick! I get asked what kind they are a lot. I really dont know, so I just say stock with black painted inside.

School me on what they are? Im thinking about these though.

There are C6 Motorsports...

I like the fact that they came in factory offsets and were a quick tire and TPS(tire pressure sensors) swap for the factory wheels. My car had low miles @ the time. I bought these from a forum member @ a price I couldn't pass up... A lot of bang for the buck... I've had people ask, "Is that some kind of special edition, I haven't seen those wheels on a vette before?" I'd actually like to get a set of these next... in the black(CF) finish.

These should look sweet on a wide body...
