Thanks for posting that graphic. They are beautiful cars, one and all.

I love each in its own way but the C2 and C7 are absolute perfection from my POV.

Nice, looks like mine (below), I have the black flash emblems which I may add. Where did you get the best deal on a Z06 front grill (I presume that doesn't have the chrome dental retainer like the stock car)?

Both your cars look awesome. I particularly like the C7 black trim details on the roof, hood & on the rear. The Z06 rims complete the look.

Well done

Nice C7 and great color. If you do not mind me asking where did you get your front splitter and and rocker panels? What are they made of?

Awesome looking C7. If you do not mind me asking where did you get your front splitter and side rails? What brand are they and what are they made of?

Thanks,
Paul

Front splitter is GM OEM for Z06, about $115 shipped from Amazon. The side skirts were purchased from a forum vendor, fiberglass primered black. PM me for more info about the side skirts and the experience.
