I love everything you did. Nice job. Is blacking out the side markers going to pose a problem at inspection time? I put clear side markers on my Benz (much better than the stock orange) and changed the bulbs to a white 5k LED,so they still emit light for safety. Whaddya think as these both will be mods I will do? Thanks again for posting!!!

Awesome!!! I LOVE the silver on black. Only thing I would do is add red brake calipers and black out the bumper chrome.

Remember the 4 x 4 fisting fiasco some here were promoting for all it was worth? Another bash du jour gone bye-bye

GREAT looking ride!!

your car looks awesome. Do the side markers light up or just reflectors? Will the cops stop you for that? My corvette mechanic lowered my C5's but he also alighns the front and rear. I will definitely remove the fish AND the chrome corvette logo on the back. Also I don't like the chrome in the grill. Keep up the good work.

Take a few deep breaths and wait a month before doing anything else. That bad boy is outstanding.

Congrats
