Have your ride lowered an inch or two, and then you will be even happier. Looks sweet, and congrats!

Looks like a nice car, but many would point and say it is not a real Z06.
Someguys like a pretty wrapper, others prefer the real thing.
I'll pass.

Looks Great! I think the spoiler would be the cherry on top.

I think it looks great.
But for me, it would not be worth the money.

I ONLY CHANGE MY REAR BOLTS.
Rear lowering bolts all the way down and front factory bolts; all the way down. no need to replace the front bolts.
JUST MAKE SURE WHEN YOU GET THE LOWERING BOLTS THEY NEED TO BE LUBRICATED IF NOT YOU WILL HAVE A GRIDING/clicking SOUND that can be confuse with the noise from the differential. Trust me, they change my differential fluid thinking it was the differential. And after some though i figure to spray some wd-40 on the rear bolts and wallaaaaaa noise gone. just put some grease on the bolts....
My experience....
I got my Z06 spoiler and now is coming alive....ALIVE...ALIVE!!!! YES!!
This never stops....have fun till the end!

Because the GM carbon fiber fenders have holes where the emblems go. Body man wouldn't fill, he told me they would show through the carbon fiber in the near future.

You could have installed the Export marker lamps in those holes, that would have made it cool and different

Where do you purchase and is there wiring in the car for these?
