Default Blacked out my car

I know it's been done before, but I really do like the look. I just got the black wheels put on the other day and couldn't be more pleased. I still need to get the black out kit for the blinker lights and the fog lights, but for the most part it's blacked out, or murdered out as some say!

In my humble opinion, too much black. There is no contrast in color so it kills the look. I dont know.

I've never liked black with black wheels, until now.
What are those?

I agree, if your committing to it, then commit to it.

I haven't forgotten them! They're on the way as well as a custom black Texas license plate. I'm going all out....

Very sharp. I bought a blacked out LMB from Vegas, but tinted windows, smoked lights, etc. doesn't go in CA.

My back window tint and sprayed rear lights were very dark, but yours are darker,...WOW.

I don't like blacked out cars UNLESS the color of the car is black. Looks really really nice. Now all you need is to change your license plate to that new TX black plate.

Where did you get your front and rear emblem?

Car looks great!

They're actually custom black vinyls that fit into the emblem.

Your car would look much better without the smoked tails. Would look better with the stock red tail lights along with the rear red markers. paint the calipers red and black out the front amber lights. You just cant see the beauty of the vette with COMPLETE BLACKED OUT

Sweet car man! I really like the black wheels on there. I'm not into the tinted lights though. To each his own. The emblems are not bad.

Without a doubt it has that Evil look I like it, versus the Black with the Chrome look. I think the stealth look with some mean sounding exhaust, blackout lights,black wheels, is the way to go.

I have a black C6 and completely agree with the other guys: paint the calipers. It's completely worth it. I would suggest red or black on those.

Looks great! Love the emblem overlays.

You should go true "Murdered Out" and paint it flat black! Now, that is something you don't see everyday.
