I was going to say not so fast guys they're still polished
Any other color besides the green and purple I think I would prefer the gray. I really want to get some paint correction done to see if it will help bring the original paint from the front fenders back closer to the newer paint on the front half of the car.

Polished is absolutely the way to go on your car. They will look fantastic.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:53 am I was going to say not so fast guys they're still polished

Normally I don't like the polished, TBH, but I think they really work on the green and will look fantastic.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:53 am I was going to say not so fast guys they're still polished

I drove the brub tub today, was pretty
It is definitely a tad challenging getting in and out of the vehicle with the race seat But I really love the seat, makes everything better once you're in and driving.

I believe they should. My Z06 wheel caps look like the same geometry as my thin spoke caps did. I'd be surprised if GM tooled up new center caps just for the Z06 wheels.

Thanks. The at the tire shop that took the tires off my wheels before the guy shipped them just hit then off with a dead blow and destroyed the snap rings. Supposedly they bought some cheap Chinese ones and the guy is fighting them for OEM ones. So I was hoping that my stock ones would fit if I don't get the replacements in time. Sucks since the new ones or mine probably will be shinier than the wheels and not look right.

Yours might not look out of place. It's worth trying.

Yeah I'll try them. My wheels still have that mirror polish level and the z wheels are Texas sun faded but worst thing that can happen is I use some satin ppf on the caps. My buddy would hook me up and probably not even charge me.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 9:10 amCaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 9:08 am

Lol I'm about to do it to mine. I bought some of the cheaper Chinese center caps because someone had a set online for $20. Figured why not. I'm not gonna spend the $100 Corvette tax that everyone's asking for OEM ones. Mine are for the track wheels tho. So look dont really matter to me as long as it's close to the same black that's currently on them.
