Absolutely. They'll compliment the rest of your black trim perfectly. The mod bug may bite again on the front splitter, though.

Thanks for the input, I was thinking of doing the front splitter at the same time. Problem with that is i scrape going in and out of my driveway now with the plastic one so i'm nervous putting a carbon one.

Already had the spoiler on mine but added the side skirts and spitter. Really changes the look in a great way.

Yep, it has to be done...but with the front splitter as well. C7 Carbon has some great prices on ZR1 replica stuff. Love the wheels...what are those?

I have the extreme version so they’re 1” wider. I love that it ties everything together.

I'll be the naysayer lol. Never been a fan of them and I've seen many in person. Maybe I'd feel different once seeing them in place on MY car, but at the Airstrip Attack this summer there were two AO Z's with them and I wasn't a fan. I will say Detoxx's car looks much better than the two I saw, I'm thinking his wheels make the difference. That said, with your spoiler and the side profile of your car in the photo, I think you could pull it off.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm torn for the same reasons. Some cars look good with them and some don't.

Thanks,
C7 Carbon is where I got the rear spoiler from. The wheels are made by XO Luxury the style wheel is Verona X253. They have that same wheel in black and gunmetal I believe. 19" front & 20" rear

I have them on my C6Z and love the look. However, the only problem I have with them is when passengers are getting in/out of the vehicle as they tend to kick them. It just takes people getting used to I guess.

I added splitter and side skirts shortly after buying my Z06. I ended up going with RPI and the quality and fit was great but wait time was forever. Go for it as they look great.

your car is crisp and clean without them.

you will get some protection along the lower portion of the car from rock chips


i think the car looks better without them

Wheels are awesome!
