Looks sharp. Would you mind saying around how much it costs to powder coat a set of wheels and what sort of prep work you had to do? I am interested because I can find silver wheels for reasonable prices, but don't want silver. PM me if you prefer.

I brought it in to someone local that does powder coating. I left my car their Monday afternoon and picked it up Wednesday morning. It cost $450, I did gloss black. Would've been 100 less if I were to just drop the wheels off though.

Thanks for posting that info! That seems quite reasonable. If I understand how it works, they had to pull the wheels, pull the tires off the wheels, remove the TPMS sensors and valve stems, mask off areas that should not be coated(?), do the coating, bake it on, then revers all that and re-balance the wheels. Am I correct in that, or is my understanding flawed?

I have the 5 spoke rims in satin black. I'm going to go over mine with a Hi GLOSS Clear coat. To add a permanent shine.

Sound about right lol, I honestly have no idea man. I know they remove the wheels off the car and the tires and everything.

Front lip is from Extreme Online Store, it’s their ZL1 1LE style. The side skirts are from them as well ZL1 style, personally I’m not happy with the fit on them and plan on swapping them out for C7 Carbon’s Version. Front lip fits excellent though and was one of the better ZL1 1LE styles for the SS cars that Ive found. Dive planes are ACS composite.

... Picked her up this past Sunday, the holiest of days. Better pics to come soon.

At rest while I clean out the garage:

She's wider than my last GF. Mental note... 2 1/2 car garage for the next house to accommodate all that junk in the trunk:

Thanks for the information. Can i ask what you didn't like about the fit on the side skirts? I was looking at purchasing a set from them as well, but now i'm curious why you are considering switching them out for C7's.

Its an Extreme Online Store splitter as Muthstryker said. I haven't mounted the side skirts yet. I'm not sure if I like them though.

Thanks for the heads up on the splitter. Do you mind sharing why you are not certain on the sideskirts? I am looking to purchase a splitter and sideskirts, but trying to do my research before jumping in lol.
