Z06-like Mods
I remember shortly after the C5 Z06 came out, many people started adding on Z06-like mods to their C5s. Intake screens, red calipers, rear wheel inlet ducts, Z06 wheels, etc.
With the new C6 Z06 basically out of the bag, what things do you see people starting to do to their C6s to Z06-ify them?? I suppose some folks may opt for the high cost nose with intake scoop and fender flares. The fender side emblems are kinda cool. But how are people going to do the rear brake ducts? Their built into the car. Not to mention that the C6 Z06 is wider and has different tires altogether.
What do you think??

I would say the high-rise hood and front intake will be a very big 'z06 mod' us non-z06 owners would be interested in. (Speaking for myself) I am sure alot of people will try to do the bigger tires/rear air ducts

I agree i think a lot of ppl will put on the rims and tires...its gonna take some minitubs or somethin though. Also if it works i have a feeling a lot of ppl are gonna get the new steering wheel...although i could care less.

Seems like the brakes might be a good snag depending on the price. The beefed up driveline stuff might get some interest. I would bet more than one LS7 ends up in a non Z car. I saw one post where a fellow wanted the steering wheel. Be interesting to see the price on some of the items.
