Default Pic request, silver Z with black wheels, halo and lenses

Anyone have a silver Z with:
-tinted side markers and tail lights
-black halo roof
-black z06 wheels
-tinted windows

I just bought one, plan on blacking it out similar to my C5 i had. Going to powder coat the wheels gloss black, get a vinyl wrap of gloss black for the roof and then have the lenses (front, rear, sides) tinted and possibly look for black headlight buckets or tint my stockers black. also plan on buying a front lip and rear zr1 wing in black.

any opinions would be welcome. but pics would be just the be the **** magee...

Thanks guys!

Those looks AMAZING! I've been seeing several Z's here recently with this black top. Was that a factory option, or is this something people are doing aftermarket? Either way, they look incredible!

I think Scuba Steve had that exact same combination. It looked okay, but I'm just not a fan of the black wheels on any car that isn't black. Silver is a great color but choosing wheels for this car just sucks...I don't like any of them. Polished, Silver, Black, Gray, Chrome, etc... I should have bought a LMB Z06.

I agree with lane change, this car is a PITA to choose wheel color. I keep going back and forth on chrome vs gloss black to match the roof. I think the blacked out wheel gives it a more aggressive look vs Chrome giving it a more elegant look.

I have black spyders on mine with carbon skirts and splitter. Car looks pretty sweet. My next is to black out the roof, which will make it complete. You can check out my threads, i was going to sell it, and then realized i was CRAZY

Scott you ARE picky aren't you LOL. Our cars look GREAT as is! I do like the black inset star with the 4" chrom lip. I love the deep dish look. A buddy of mine has them. Corwheels. I'm thinking of getting these in BLACK instead of the carbon fiber look.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but does anybody have a shot of the same with stock wheels? Either 10-spoke or spiders.
I have had thoughts of painting the roof and halo black. I already have dark tint windows. I want to have a look that is slightly different than stock. Wheels can be done later. Big decision...

Back on the hunt for a wheel color change. Based on Scuba Steve's pics, I am sold. Hopefully will get it done in the next week or so.
