Its crazy how much different the color looks from being in the garage, to the sun, to overcast, to street lights, etc. It seems like it has a different hue in just about every lighting condition. One of the reason I like this color so much.

The color of your Z06 combines very well with the colors of your house! Beautiful pictures!

Thanks, but it is actually my grandma's house. I do agree though the colors work really well together.

Updated picture of the car, powder coated black stock wheels wraped in Nitto NT05 335/30/19R, 285/30/18F lowered on stock bolts...

Still want to tint the windows some to finish off the look.

Just got my AO Z about 8 weeks ago. Definitely been enjoying this warmer weather we've had!

They are Holley's LS Coil Covers, 'plastic" covers that are designed to be put on aftermarket LS engine installations to hide the coils. I had to cut them up pretty good to fit the stock application but they turned out pretty good. I primed and painted them. Here's another look.....
