Default Help Personalize!!!

I would like to personalize my car a little more. Please help with some thoughts. I did not dig the options for Caliper Colors, Had to pay extra just to get black or it was Red. Has anyone gone with DSOM Calipers?

Any other bold Ideas?

-DSOM Calipers
-Window Tint
-Wheels

My car is white, not dsom, but in my opinion is that your car looks awesome and you have already done the biggest personalization you can do, which is picking dsom.

There are not going to be that many DSOM Z06 cars out there, which is way cool.

If you wanted to change the brake calipers to dsom, that would be cool, but if you decide on new wheels, stay with black or a black chrome.

This are just my $.02, but you obviously have thought this out well. Good luck, and again, your car already looks super.

I agree with you that the car looks great the way it is. The black calipers and wheels look so nice with the DSOM.

Wheels? You have the perfect wheels, don't waste your money making it look not as good as it already does.
Window tint yes.....

In my humble opinion, I would definitely tint and leave it at that. I think any other mods would actually take away from this beauty. I seriously don't think anything else could top how it already looks. Just my $.02, so take it as such.

Enjoy!!
