Here are some photos I took today, showing the new Katech wing and APR carbon nose splitter. Wheels are 19/20 HRE in custom cyber gray with silver pinstripe.

It's okay... If you're in to that sort of thing.
Probably gets shit for gas mileage though. Just saying.

Love the CAR itself, cyber gray and red interior is the best! With that said, i would lose the wing and i would have went with different wheels. Especially for what HRE's cost. Love the car though!!

Who buys a Z06 based on gas mileage? FYI, it averages 27.3 mpg on the highway. I put about 200 miles a week on it during nice weather.

Against my usual norm of "not posting and just lurking", I must say that your car is pulling me closer to a C6 Z vs the more of my budget friendly C5 Z.
But neither will happen until my wife gets out of school.

The car looks great. Nice subtle touches, but one question. Are the hood badges stock? They look kind of out of place to me. Personally, I'd remove the badges off the car for a 'cleaner' look. No need to advertise everything about the car, make people guess what it is.

Badges were dealership installed. They are factory emblems from the 2008 "427 Edition" Z06. So, they are stock emblems for a Z06. I like them, they match the Z06 emblems and calipers (and interior). They are a modernized version of the classic emblems.

Tony,
Looks good
Why did you mix the APS and Katach?
Tomato Tomato?
Does it handle any different? Can YOU feel the difference?

I bought the APR splitter before Katech had one available. It was the only choice at the time, other than the $1500 ZR1 piece. I haven't road raced the car with the aero mods yet. No idea if it will feel different, been too long since I did it last.

WOW i think that color is SWEET!!! That is the EXACT color ive always pictured on a vette. I just have never seen one. For it to be on a C6Z just made my day. ahhh where is the navigation!?!? lol i gotta ask.....

I have the Hood badges as well, ordered them the day I picked up my car. They look like should have been a factory item. As far as the Color goes when we bought ours there was a cyber grey and the new blade silver side by side and I picked the silver. The grey is the most popular color in 09 though. Car looks great with the wheels, not a fan of carbon (kinda ricer in my opinion) fiber but I do like the wing-more if it was flat black.

Curious, but do you feel the ZR1 is rice? It has bare carbon all over it. Same with a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. How about a Ferrari 430 Scuderia?
"Ricer" is an overused term. Ricers like to emulate actual performance cars by making them look like fast cars. The term shouldn't apply to actual performance cars. Carbon fiber came out first on world class cars, never on Hondas.

I actually modeled my Z06 as the "cheap" version of this car, appearance-wise:

Carbon fiber is not rice, FAKE carbon fiber is rice. People who think real carbon is rice, I mean WTF? You make 9 defend himself because he likes CF, hell it is probably the best stuff ever made for a car.
Oh, and BTW sweet car. Love the mods and the color.

My bad, real carbon fiber is not rice. Is the consol in our cars real or fake?
The Alchemist

Rice is carbon fiber graphics overlayed on plastic trim panels. It looks nice, but it's basically a sticker. Carbon fiber for structural purposes with lowest weight possible is what performance and racing is all about.
Again, I love your car Tony, I'd just remove the extra badges if it were me. Look at the Lambo, nice and smooth and only a bull on the hood. Again, that's my personal taste. Carbon fiber and gray go together really nicely.

The console in the 08+ Z06 is fake carbon. It is just an overlay (water transfer).

great looking car. My bro just got that same color. I was so mad that they came out with that after I bought my machine silver one. Oh well I do like my color.
Noticed you blacked out the side lights, why not doing the tail lights too? I did mine and LOVE IT. Don't get bothered by cops either :)
