What We Love About This Build
The Dream Machine strikes the perfect balance between style and performance. The Carbon Flash accents, including the C8 Coupe Engine Compartment Overlay and Louvered Engine Panels, create a sleek, high-end look that complements the bold Torch Red paint. These touches not only look great but improve airflow and engine cooling.
The 5VM Rockers and Rear Intake Ports add an aggressive feel while boosting aerodynamics and performance. To top it off, the Stealth CFZ Emblem adds a subtle, personal touch, tying everything together for a refined yet powerful appearance.
Mod List
