Hey guys,
I'm new to corvettes and have never owned one before.
I have owned all fords (mustangs and cobras) and am gonna make the switch to a c5 in a couple months. I have always wanted a totaly blacked out car. I wanna do all black 20"/19" iforged aeros.
How do you guys think this would look?
Any other recomendations for exterior mods?
Here is a photochop i did...

Great move gettng a c5 Z06. It's a tremendous value.

I would be a little careful about going Iforged 19/20. The sidewalls you will be left with will be very narrow. That will mean a harsh ride and inferior handling. The rims will also be heavier. That's said the car will look great!

My ride below, has two sets of rim/tires (street/road race). My Iforged set is 18/19. Good bling, good performance. I installed some rear fender flairs to allow wider tires in the rear (345s). I did that primarily for road racing(reduce oversteer) but it also allows a huge lip for the rear tires. Good luck.

I don't own anything yet, I just wanted to photoshop what I wanted my car to look like when I do find the right one:cheers:

Man that looks sick!!!!! Where do you get the flairs from? And how much did they set you back?

Flairs are about $800 from Lewis 5 sports. With painting they run similar to tubbing.
