Default Mod's phase 1 complete

Bought this 2010 1LT base, MN6 mid October. Have added a tune, Z06 intake horn, 160* T-stat (that I'm gonna change to a 180* soon), Borla Tourning axle back exhaust, grill mesh screen, cove vent screens this weekend, ZR1 full width spoiler, Z51 front/rear sway bars & poly bushings, Z06 front/rear shocks, lowered on stock bolts and want the back lower by 3/4" - 1", CORVETTE brakelight lettering on aft right cheek, GM gray Heritage LF fender stripe thanks to forum member frankmp and 2008 GM comp gray split 5 spoke wheels from forum member bbster. Thanks Guys. I had a black C5 with red calipers, black wheels, lowered and red GS stripe. Wanted a different look for this Rodeo, what do you think of this combo? Next is Z51 drilled rotors and brackets to move the stock calipers out to accept the larger diameter rotors.

I really like it.
The CG stripes, red lettering and mesh grille are great accents.
I think you need to fix your signature 'cuz you got the wheels which look great with black.

The more I look at CF pictures, the more I like the personalizations people add. A stock Vette is still a good looking car but these individualizations to a car with such a long lifecycle makes it more interesting.

Very tasteful and looks like it could be factory. Very subtle and very well executed!

Thanks Folks, I'm over the moon about the results. I had a vision when I first got it and the finished product is more than I expected. Now I'll drive and let the checkbook recover. Looking forward to a visit to Las Vegas Motor Speedway Jan 29th. Will take pic's of that event.
