Beautiful color combinations on the Z07. Which color calipers did you go with?

I went with the gray calipers because I don't like the colored caliper look.

It's difficult to tell from the pics, and I think that your car looks great, but do you find that the color matched skirts make the car look fat or disproportionate. I think that the color contrast maintains the lines better- more so w/the Stingray than Z06... or not.

Picking up my 2LT version of the same triple-black, chrome-wheel, red-caliper, A8 Z51 vert at the NCM on November 13th. Yours looks beautiful. Can you post more images so I have something to salivate over? Thanks!

Thanks, and I think the side skirts blend in really well with the car, I have the carbon flash paint on them, and it just fits. I was worried that they would look too flashy or stick out too far, but they are perfect to me. It is hard to judge from the pictures, you really need to see them on in person.
