Very nice. Looks much better with the black wheels, side skirts and chin spoiler. Understated and classy. So much better than with the chrome wheels, IMHO.

Not a Z06. Wide body conversion

I usually don't care for stripes, but I think yours looks really good. I also am not a fan of black wheels, but with the stripes, spoiler, and skirts, they look good. Very nice ride.

Love those wheels, but then again I am biased. Does the splitter scrape often ?

Only on occasion coming in or leaving my driveway if I don't enter or exit at about 40 degrees. No other times

Where did you source the front splitter, side skirts, and mud flaps?

Bought the front splitter from C7 Carbon (forum vendor) and the front splash guards and side skirts from 2 different individuals here on the forum.

I'm old school and prefer chrome wheels but on this car, the black just looks right. Now, add the C7 Carbon rear diffuser for the icing on the cake.

Does the stripe have a rear deck and over the bumper piece?

Regardless, very nice car...

Man those wheels look great. Are those the Z06 reproductions? Cast aluminum?
