Caliper covers work for awhile before I get bigger brake kit and new calipers.

the yellow does pop... now for some constructive criticism. with the zr1 style lip, and the side skirts but nothing in the back looks funny to me. i would add something back there, like zr1 style spoiler in black, and then change the front lip to black as well.

just my thoughts, and obviously you will do what you like with the car

I considered black or carbon fiber but decided on matching the color.

Looks good. Are those C7 style side skirts? I think that's the first time I've seen them on a C6. I'd probably use a C6 wheel center cap just to match the other emblems.

Looks good! I did this in case you ever want to get your halo wrapped you can see what it will look like.

Thx. They are next. I picked up the wheels and tires from a 2017 C7. They had 300 miles on them.

A little photo critique. It's usually better to capture images much lower, more even with the car. With people and critters (what I photograph most) you want to shoot from the subjects eye level, or lower. It makes the subject more of a hero in the shot and less distortion of the features.

Here is one example:



I really like the ACS splitter, not a fan of their side skirts.

Thx for the critique. I took the pics to send to ACS. I thought taking the pics at that angle I did would give more of a emphasis on the splitter and side skirts. Just some quick shots from my IPhone in a parking lot.

Looks Good, Yellow is definitely a great color. Now all you need is some black wheels

I think wrapping the Halo Black would set it apart as well.
