This got to be one of the top sweet looking C7! Good job! Maybe the wheel is next?

I don't think they retail just the tips, I think they are only an option with an exhaust system...

Exhaust

While Borla was using our ride for R&D, they let us take their black convert with the NPP and Borlas setup for that. A lot louder than our non-NPP.

Wonder how much work it would take to install...

No disrespect intended, but I'm the opposite. I wish I could get a Z06 without all the add-ons. I just want the 650HP widebody that would otherwise look like a Stingray.

Why not just buy a Z06 instead of bolting on all the wannabe plastic stuff on a Stingray?

I agree, but I'm sure it's an image thing. If someone sees their tips and hears a factory exhaust or another competitors exhaust that doesn't meet "Borla" standards... Yada yada yada. The tips have Borla logo cut into them

Are you saying you'd buy A base C7 that has nearly everything A Z06 has
For $70,000?

Nope, I'm saying that's what I bought my used 2LZ Z51 for and spent very little to get it where it's at. Sponsors, some wholesale parts, free install DIY at our shop, sold old parts and wheels. Since I can't swing a base Z06 I'll hold out for a used one in a little while. Until then I'll customize just like anyone else on the forums and enjoy what I got
