2021 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Engine dress up
The driving/show season is coming upon us pretty soon for us northerners lol! I am starting to get my car whipped into shape. I have a set of Brixton wheels which I had the centers painted matte black with polished lips on their way, hopefully by this weekend, which should compliment the VY color nicely! I also thought my engine bay looked dull! Those of you that have saw my other postings of my C6Z engine bay should now I can tastefully mod and make everything flow. Once my rims get here I will swap tires and mount them on the car and update this thread. Then about a week to a week and a half after my rims, I should have my parts back from the polisher and put on. I am anticipating a awesome turnout! Stay safe

Not a big fan of the shiny square fusebox and brake covers, but I *do* like the polished SC lid. I've never seen that before on a C7 Z06.

Looks good so far and those wheels are going to look badazz on the car.

Here's a update on my rims! Didn't like the look of those 10 spoke ones so I had a custom set made! I am very impressed with the quality and craftmanship of these new rims and how I feel they compliment the car! As I've said before, pics do not do these rims justice. I went with a step lip concave look.

They’re a 1 off. I had them get as much concavity out of the rim as possible while still having a lip. I was informed by Brixton that getting rims to have a concave look on the C7Z isn’t a easy task because of the axle nut. I am pleased with the way they turned out. I believe they are a 20x10.5 in front and a 20x12.5 in the rear, I don’t remember the offset but they sit flush which is what I wanted.
