Default PIC REQUEST: 1) Victory Red base w any spoiler 2) black headlamps 3) Red door handles



My 2008 coupe is beautiful... she already has a paint-matched spoiler but I'm wondering... what would she look like with...

1) A full-width spoiler (OEM) or the ZR-1 style spoiler?

2) or blacked out headlights? I'm also seeing some kick-**** photos of Vettes with them, but no red cars. (I'm referring to paint, not tint of the lens.)

3) BONUS: Victory Red door handles? Anyone?

Here's mine with VR door handles and ZR1 spoiler. I also added the ghosted side markers.

Thanks she's a beaut! ... And darn you those ghosted side markers look pretty nice as well! Something else for me to consider now.

Thanks. I didn't mind the back marker but the front with the orange kind of clashed. I've color matched the side vents and front grill since this pic was taken as well.

Here is the OEM rear spoiler. I just installed matching handles over the winter but dont have any pics yet. I can tell you, for me it was worth money to do it.

As for the marker lights, I agree the amber ones look out of place. I switched only the front ones to clear to match the DRL and headlights.

Thanks a bunch for posting. Wow I'm really stuck on ZR-1 spoiler vs full-width OEM now, too.

Bump for more pics...? Would love to see more ZR1 vs full-width OEM spoilers, if possible... anyone with a front-quarter view of their car with these spoilers?
