GC, the center hub needs to be put back together with the inside barrel. (40 bolts) The pic shown is of the front. The rear has a deeper lip to it. The red pin stripe around the perimeter is just a 1/8" temp. sticker. I think I am going to go to 3/16 to 1/4 red around the perimeter and maybe have it start at the edge of the rim. I have an artist who does alot of hot rods & custom bikes laying that down this week. Not sure, have to see it both ways and see what I like. I decided to go with the black PC because I have all of my suuspension polished. I think the contrast really makes it POP.

I picked up a C-beam(delivered yesterday)which will be polished and look sweet w/ the black drive shaft. I also have a new batwing coming which will be treated to the same thing. The linkage connected to the batwing will be a combination of black PC and polish. I'm going in the spare tire delete direction so all behind me will see how cool the mighty Z looks hot, top to bottom. Oh yea, each half shaft has the ZR1 logo on both sides, so when it spins the logo should be seen constant. Not that anybody will see but I polished my gas tank last week. Somebody stop me before they come take me away.:mrgreen:

Next step, performance mods!! I had Viper 4.10 dropped off last week.

Yes they are, I figured I wouldn't let your car die for nothing. I still have some other parts from her that are on the list to get done.

Cool,
Happy to see that, how are you? I was going to buy a new ZR1 but with the lack of support Gm has given for my prior cars 94/95's and the customer service they now provide I opted not to. Sad but its the truth.
Maybe I will see you at some shows over the summer.
Ps. I got in to custom bikes (motorcycles).
