Your car looks good. What are the Dunlop and Mequires stickers for though? Are they sponsors for you? Also is it the camera angle or do the rim lips look wider than the tire side wall?
You should carry the stealthy smoked idea all the way out to the side markers and front driving/fog lamps. That would complete your idea.

And if your intent was to not paint your calipers the same color as the PCCB's, then why choose a lambo color for a p-car???? Why not red, or silver or friggin blue if an aesthetic upgrade is what you were going for...
Painting them Red would make me look like i'm trying to be a Carrera S, so can't win there. Silver is too plain, and I thought of blue, but just not as pleasing to me as Yellow.

I'm gona call my guy up right now and see if I can get an appointment. Thanks! I was never really a huge fan of the front lamps on the bumper and always thought it took away from the front end but I think smoking them would really take the attention away from them and make them more subtle. thanks again for the idea!

Have you considered putting CF mirrors? Would look damn good with black...
Blacked out tail lights are impressive.

At least he's not making his car out to be something its not. After all, do PCCB's really make your car DIFFERENT. You want to see poseurs? Head over to CorvetteForum and see all the C6 owners putting body panels/wheels/hoods of a C6Z06 on their cars.
I don't mean to be confrontational but jeezsh dude get off the guy's back.

Anyway I didn't do much more to it other than lower the PSS9's all the way down. I also got my tailights tinted, and had my brakes painted Giallo Orion, also known as Lamborghini Yellow, big thanks to Chris at F1 Motorsport in socal for the brakes and tails, I really loved the way both came out. Also gotta thank the other people who are helping me finish modding my car like Dunlop Meguiar's and tCarbon. Anyway, still got a ways to go before this car is done, nothing crazy though like blakt out but it will be cleanly modded when it's completely done,
