Hey guys thanks so much for all the kind words. I'm the resident Corvette specialist at D2FORGED, and I orchestrated this deal from beginning to end.
From the choice of finish, to the decision to go with more aggresive fitment than usual, to convincing the customer to trust us not to damage his baby.

It was very hard work, but the fact that you guys love it makes it all worthwhile. Thank you all so muich for the kind words, it goes a LONG way!!

Stefan

We are looking forward to doing a ZR-1, but our next target domestic supercar is the FORD GT. I think that would really solidify our competence and dexterity in the Domestic Modern Muscle segment.

VIPER - VETTE Z06 - FORD GT

The best of the best IMO!

Hey Derrick,
when you do these cars do you post pics of them on forums of those cars? If so, what kind of response did you get from the folks on the Vette forums?

Thanks so much Wringo. I say this all the time, but any form of compliment or well wishing from CL OG's means so much more to us. Its sort of like getting a pat on the back from your cool older uncle LOL

Don't be mad at yourself, I saw the ZONE's in person and they looked immaculate!

Bob has MAJOR OCD when it comes to cleaning his wheels. He was putting tire dressing on the INNER sidewall, in preparation to ship them out to you!

We actually let our authorized vendors post the content on their respective forums. So our Corvetteforum vendor posted these, here's a link:

Guys we met with our videographer over the weekend and shot some great footage of this vehicle and yet another yet unseen car with D2FORGED Wheels installed. Here's a little preview of the fun:
