I have chosen not to do anything to mine that can't be put back to stock. Restoring and showing my '63 split window has given me a great appreciation for how hard it is to get something back to the condition it was in when it left the factory. Being that there are only 195 Centennial Z06's ever made, I know it will eventually be very collectable. This doesn't stop me from enjoying it now, just cautious about any decision to modify it.

I don't plan to modify my CE ZR1 as I have done to so many cars in the past. Mostly because I couldn't handle any more power for the street and frankly I think the CE version doesn't need anything done to it to look great. I installed an old school M2W so I could hear the roar of the rather quiet oem exhaust a little more, but that is it. As I recall there are 206 CE ZR1s, but no one can be sure how collectible they will be in the future. I hope they can do reasonably well in holding there value, but that is just wishful thinking. Mine is a garage queen that I drive on weekends on sunny days. I don't cry too loud if I get caught in the rain, as I want to enjoy the car. I have about 3.6k miles on the clock. I do take exceptionally good care of it though and recently had an Xpel clear bra professionally installed.

I agree with you guys! The car looks great just how it is. Not much need to do big mods. I lowered it and installed some wheel spacers to have the rubber in line with the fender. Thats it.... Can be set to OEM within an hour or two.
Because of the microfiber wrapped steering wheel, i use microfiber gloves when driving the car. I do this to keep the car in "as new" condition, but not because of appreciation in the long run.

It's awful hard to upgrade a car that has so much especially the Z06. But I have added a few things but just small. Upgrade to Hawk 1-piece ceramic pads, Custom Lloyds mats, upgrade to LED lights, HID Fog lights, Elite Oil catch can, Black chrome gorilla nuts, Ceramic paint protection topped with Proform paint protection film (http://proformauto.com/) on all impacted areas. More to come I'm sure, was debating on a air intake but the stock one is quit efficient. I'm not liking the Nav unit, I have a Cruze and it is so much more updated, they must be the original ones back when the C6 was first released.

Z06. Probably the best looking special edition car I've ever seen from GM, only wish is it was a Z07... But not that much. Where did you get that centennial edition cargo cover?

I used the stock studs to lower it as far as possible. In the front the height dropped by 1 inch. In the rear it was less than half inch. So maybe i will change to the aftermarket studs to drop it a bit more in the rear. However, it looks great the way it is now, so i may leave it that way.
I will not go to aftermarket studs in the front. Righthight is very low now, less than 2 inches on the front rubber spoiler to the pavement.
Lowering and wheelspacers are just optical mods. I do not see any change in handling characteristics...
In my opinion easy to do, not expensive and great looks... Definitally worth the money.
Pictures to come soon!

Good morning!
Just went out and took a cellphone pic "before - after" lowering and wheel spacers. Easy and simple modification almost anybody can do. Have a look:
I know many guys in germany who installed wheelspacers on their Corvettes. 15mm are OK if you plan to lower your car. If you install larger spacers (like 20 or 25mm - thats about 1 inch) AND plan to lower your car, the rubber might come in contact with the body when driving fast around corners. So think twice before you go that big!
I mdrive wheelspacers as well on my 97 C5. That car has now 130.000 Miles on the odometer and is 16 years old. Still the first 4 wheel bearings. Just in case you ask if there might be increased wear on those components!
Go ahead and do it!
