First, I want to thank CF for all the feedback I received during my 2-year shopping process. Thanks for answering all the questions, etc. that I posted regarding the C7 Z06, features, trim, aftermarket mods, etc. I was planning to pull the trigger in 2018, however ran into some unexpected real estate investment challenges, so I had to wait until 2019. I considered buying a ZR1, but in the end stuck with my original plan for a Z06 and I couldn't be happier. I ordered in late April, took delivery in mid-July and then completed my planned mods over the last few months. It just took me awhile to finally take some decent pics.

Congrats! I think your car is one of the few I've seen with the clear side marker lights. They blend well with white. BTW, how do you like your Max 360c? I've been using Escort detectors for decades & it's time for an upgrade but it seems Escort isn't what it once was. I've been thinking about getting the Uniden R3 which seems to be the go to detector for range.
ive always wondered what the windshield pillar posts ,would look like in body color/white?
I've seen a few over the years, but I think that mod would destroy the wrap-around lines of the tint and black pillars. Especially with the body-colored top.

Great choice on the wheels -- Did you go with Stock Z06 offsets matching the factory wheels. These look to stick out just a little bit more then factory. Especially the front wheels. The Rear wheels look like they have a deeper dish then factory.
I like the gun metal grey. They really make the car look a lot beefier and even though the tires are factor size the sidewall width doesn't look as skinny as it does with the factory wheels. looks a little more old school muscle car which I really like.
Awesome looking ride! You certainly did you homework. It's not clear to me, is your Mods list something you plan on doing or something you have already done. You did a great job researching and planning your new ride so

Thanks. I thought about going with the tinted side markers or the full LED strip markers from Oracle, but decided to go with the clear after seeing them match up well with other Arctic White C7s. The MAX 360c is still new so I haven't had a chance to really test it out. I have the Escort Passport in my C5 and it's been great so I decided to go with their latest tech for the C7Z.

Thanks. They are stock factory/size and offset. I ordered through Gerry at CW4L and they are running on Michelins PSS ZPs. I kept the Pearl Nickel OEM wheels and Michelin Cup tires for the occasional track run and trade-in time. The Forgeline Monoblocks do have a little deeper offset which I also like. Especially in the rear.
