Tint is so dark it makes it hard to see any body lines. I'm sure in person in looks sick though.

No I did not, but I am very happy with the power it is making for tune only.

I got the car Thursday morning, lowered it, tinted the windows, then Thursday night I blacked out the front chrome grill. Then on Friday my good friend and tuner Jeremy Formato street tuned the car with a wide band. WOW this car really woke up and runs strong! Going on the dyno this week, and more mods shorty.... Here are some pics!

I also ordered OEM Blk z51 wheels for it.

EDIT: 11/4/13. A couple of new pics:

I got my z51 wheels on, and also put it on the dyno. Made 430whp/426wtq TUNE ONLY. This was a couple of weeks ago when it was still 95 outside here in FL.

WOW. That makes me drool. I've been wondering what my all black Z-51 would look like with tint. Now I know. Looks great! Is it lowered?

Thank you. Yes it is lowered all the way down on stock bolts, about a 1" drop all the way around. I will eventually go lower.

Great looking car! How do you like the ride with the non Z-51 set up? Any regrets not waiting for your original order? I'm torn between waiting for the Z-51 or just going ahead and ordering the non Z-51.
