Maybe paint everything one dark color would make it look OK.
If you use the stock leaf springs, you should be able to use lowering bolts to adjust the ride height.

I think the z07 wing is not high but translucent in the middle.

Too bad they don't monochrome the cars, would look so much better than the messy black/grey/CF accents all over..

I'm painting everything..

Have you figured out if you will fit in the car with a helmet?

New front grill sans the plastic chrome braces looks much better. Those wheels look great. And, the blacked out rear lights help the back end.

Much improved.

Now, get rid of the run flats.

Great looking car. I like that they didn't try to hide the vents, etc. it's exactly how I'd build a track car, everything exposed. Lower the back a little and it's ready to rock.

Would change the exhaust tail pipes too. Almost everything on the car is angular except the tail pipes. I find the 4 round pipes to be a bit of a design conflict. Would change to a angular/rectangle shape (2).
