Default Since this is a vette forum...

Here's some pics of my Z with the L5's and 20x13 505's I just put on. Was on the fence for quite awhile, but I'm glad I did it, I like it!!















Steam roller 345x25-20's...



And my new front plate mod, not sure I really dig this, but it's growing on me. I guess it would look better with a nice fat intercooler sitting in there!!

71, I will be putting the L5 splash guards on, just have not decided weather I wanna shell out 350 for the carbon fiber ones or go with the standard black. The fenders would definately get sprayed with road debris w/o them!!

I never had splash guards on my L5's and never had an issue with chips or nicks. Pointless to add them if you ask me

Very Nice! Your rims caught my eye! Where did you get them? Don't recall seeing ones like those before, at least not with the black and chrome!

For Real? I would think the rear bumper would get peppered pretty bad. If not, that is good to know, b/c I really do not want to put them on, I like the look without much better!!

Thanks...and you have seen plenty of rims these wheels, just not like these!! They are just CCW 505s' with a painted center and inner barrel.

Nice to see you still have the car. Looks like a nice job on the paint match too
