Sweeeeet ride Matt!! What front splitter and side skirts are they? I been waiting on the front extended version from a forum vendor, but they been on their azz with production. I was hoping to get an extended front splitter with 1" extended side skirts. I think they look great. I may opt for the APR Version II since the last know production progress was when Haley's Comet passed over the earth. Hahaha

Splitter and side skirts are from one of the vendors on here. They fit nice and the price was right but they are "Extremely" thin. Although they are suppose to be light weight, they are too fragile to withstand any abuse what so ever. That being the case and the detail freak that I am, I reinforced them with fiberglass filler which made them stronger and much more substantial. Spray painted the filler satin black so the ants can't see it. LOL

Beauty is in the eye if the beholder friends. Lol

Nothing wrong with any C6 except maybe that it's a but understated. I had one. I loved it. But as time went on the grass was greener...

When it comes to the looks department of C6Z vs C7Z one thing that is not mentioned but very important is the stance....GM nailed it on the C6 whereas the C7 looks like a 4 wheel drive with way too much clearance between the top of the tire and the wheel well. I should know, I had to drop my C7Z 2" just to make it look right.

thats the beauty of the c6z. It’s understated and in the future why it’s style will age better

I thought the grass was greener too.

It's the "427" badges on the hood that make the C6Z look so bad ***. That and the round taillights.

I do still think the C6 Z06 looks more distinctly different from the base vs what the C7 Z06 did. That widebody on the C6 looks SO much more beastly vs base when again comparing to the C7Z.

It's not to downplay the C7, but I just feel like the differences were more drastic on the C6 gen
