  • update: ballermaro

    just wanted to keep you guys in the loop with the whereabouts of the 'maro since she's been hit.

    went to the bodyshop to check up on things yesterday, and things are looking better. the repairs to the body and damage are nearly complete, and painting is being finished up. she looks put back together very well so far, and i talked with the manager there and got a great deal on painting the roof strip between the ttops and rear windshield factory gloss black, like the Z28's and SS's have --- something i've wanted to do for a while anyway. the rest of the damage to my aftermarket parts will be verified and appraised after the initial bodywork is done, hopefully the car will be back to me in a few weeks.

    i took out the replacement gm corner lens so i can niteshade it and try to match it to my other one, that shouldn't be too much trouble. new projector halos are on the way to the shop to go in as well.

    but the bad news is my rims (c6 z06) are apparently out of stock EVERYWHERE and are said to be possibly discontinued, so im SOL as far as getting them back. her company is completely liable for my car so from my understanding they must provide me with new rims of my choice since the car cant be put back as was. i'm a little sad i cant have my rims, but at the same time i've always wanted these:

    deep dish c6 z06 :D

    thinking about going staggered this time

    what do you guys think? i love the deep dish look and i think staggered 17/18 might really bring it all together. i'm open to suggestions and comments.

    if things work out that way, i suppose i'll have 3 nearly new 17 x 9.5 c6 z06 rims for sale if anyone is interested or needs replacements (even though i really want to put them on the ls1 but i'll have the odd number). i'll keep everyone posted if so.

        sorry to hear about your car bro, glad it's getting fixed :). stay on his insurance company and don't take their bs, they often dont like paying for stuff (heh), especially mods.

              I'd probably trade you straight up my 18s for your 17s, that way I'd have the 17s all around I always wanted, and you would have 18" tires for the new ones you get and still have the 3 wheels. Too bad shipping would kill it. Good to hear it's coming along though.

              I've been seriously considering buying a set of the machined face black powder-coated C6 Z06s to replace my chromies. Still unsure though.

                  There goes steve again with his damn zr1s lol. I was toying with the idea of those when I got new rims. They look so delicious..I even did a photoshop of em on my car lol.



                  That's also with a photoshopped drop :D It looks so good that low I'm having a hard time not going to Summit and buying some new shocks and springs.

                      i'm glad you brought that up bibber, those were my second choice but i still love the deep dish look better from what i've been looking at. i've seen them on a few fbodies and they look good, but i think they're a little "busy" for me --- and will be a pain in the @ss to clean all those spokes.

                      any thoughts from you guys on zr1's vs. dish z06's?

                        Off topic but I just had to say.. Good job on the photoshop. I'm impressed.

                          here's some zr1's on a t/a to compare:

                          t/a zr1 set

                          and on a 4th gen ss:

                          zr1 camaro

                          personally i think they look better on the birds than the maro's

                            i think they'd look better in a gun metal finish but either car they look sexy to me. lol

                            my only issue is that neither one has been lowered so it looks a bit odd in those pics

                              agreed. if i ever did go with those it would be this set:

                              gunmetal zr1

                              and definitely looks odd without the drop, and i'm dropped over an inch so it would pull together pretty well i think, but i'm lovin the deep dish route --- it's just pure sexytime :D
