So after selling my 10 second C6 to a member here to cover my ex-wife's lawyer bill....I was out of the Corvette scene.

Last August, I picked up this C5 from another member here (See how that works) this was the 1st day it was home:

I've been chipping away at appearance and performance mods to get it how I want it. Basically have the cam and stall to throw in it still....but it currently has the following:
GM C6 Z06 front and rear shocks
GM C6 Z51 front and rear sway barsLowered on factory bolts with alignment
Forgestar CF5 – Brushed aluminum finish
Front Wheel Size: 18 x 9.5 +50 275/35/18
Rear Wheel Size: 19 x 11 +55 305/30/19
BTR Stage 2 Cam (Soon)
LS6 intake manifold
Vararam cold air intake
Borla S-Type II catback exhaust
XS Power (version 4) 1 7/8" stainless long tube headers and catless x pipe
3:42 Z06 rear end
Yank SS3200 Stall Converter (soon)
4eyeC5 LED projector headlight kit
Gloss black lower diffuser
Halo wrapped in gloss black
Tinted windows
C6 seats

Not looking to be the fastest....because it's not. Just wanted a nice looking, nice sounding fun street car...which I believe I'll have when it's finished. I'm just happy to have a fairly decent car and to be back in the scene. This is how the car currently looks:

Great looking car brings back memories. Have you considered powder coating your wheels black or a dark color after you do your new headlights?

To be honest, the original plan was to powder coat them satin black.

In pictures that are farther away, you can't see the detail in the wheel finish which is brushed aluminum. Once I saw that, and how they looked on the car, I couldn't bring myself to cover that...and I think the car pops much better with the bright finish.
