I like the color of the car....I think you need some more black to offset the wheels...black top and halo?

eeewwww.....Please don't do a bra....my opinion anyway.

black headlights would be cool, but they are expensive I believe. Maybe just the fender stripes or a black roof will help.

Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Dear god....please don't put a bra on that car simply to add some black color. There is nothing more hideous.

Black halo and call it a day.

I think black headlights would really set off your black wheels. Someone posted a picture yesterday of a 2011 white Z06 with black headlights. Do a search and check it out.

Does need something to offset.... I also agree that it shouldn't be a bra.....Just my opinion though.

Off topic, but I notice you're from Amarillo. Me too - parents still live there. Try not to blow away....

Looks good but do the rears tuck? They look like they may stick out.

I think a black halo and transparent top would complete the look.
