Yea, he says he lives in the low rent part of the neighborhood. He's wrong, but it's funny to hear him say that.

No way, he can have it. He's willing and has already done things I know that I just couldn't stomach. Probably a cultural thing.

It's lowered about an inch. No one makes springs or coils for it yet.

Did a temporary mod-blacked out the middle chrome bar. Do you like it better chromed or not?

Tyler doesn't like the chrome-he thought it looks like a retainer (after you've had your braces taken off).

Normally I like chrome accents but that looks better black... what about CF wrap to match the lip.

I already have the Carbon Fiber ready to go! I used electrical tape temporarily to see if I/we liked it better or not.

Ross, I'm staying with the Chrome wheels. Anil and Tyler both said to NOT get them. But they were ordered with this car. (Remember, this is not the car I originally ordered. Someone else ordered this car but walked away from it. I grabbed it in October 2013).

Plus, the Boss (my wife) loves the Chrome wheels. Actually, if you saw this C7 in person, the Chrome wheels add a lot of classiness to the overall look.

Black looks good but I wouldn't really care if I had a C7
Overall of the car pulls more attention than small details even though yessss small details are what makes the car beautifulllll

unless it's REAL CF you're putting on and not CF vinyl. Don't mix media.

Maybe Jeremy would be the "real deal" carbon fiber for the front?????


I'll use the vinyl on it when I get a chance and call it a day.
