I'd love to see some more shots of your front flares as well if you have the camera out around the car at some point.

This is the most sexy, sinister, bad azz modified Corvette I have ever seen... I would probably go with the CCW wheels though. I love the front grill, love the front spoiler, love the hood, love the headlights, side body molding, rear spoiler ... etc. WOW !!
