Looks great. Just wondering how cost effective is to the do a Z06 body swap on a C6 with brakes and all compared to picking a used Z06. I have seen a number of these.

The rims look good! Nice color too!

Although, I don't like the idea of faking a Z06 with a regular C6....

Parts for the entire kit will run about 5K give or take a couple hundred bucks. Assuming you go with stock replacements; brakes, wheels, and tires could run another 4K or so. Labor & especially paint will vary, but won't be cheap if done properly.

So IMO, doing this conversion isn't exactly "cost effective" especially taking the current used Z market into consideration - a good example can be found for around 50K.

Nice Vette but, the orange around the tires/rims looks chessy!
