I don't care for it but I can't come up with a single reason why you should care about what I think.

It is okay, but not something I would do or pay for.

Yeah, I like it. I have chrome wheels so it all ties in together.

I don't dislike chrome, I have the chrome spyder wheels on my Z06 GT1 but my C7 has black wheels which I prefer. Thats all, just personal preference. If its corvette related in the end, its all good.

It doesn't look bad at all-you might consider adding to it with some chrome engine pieces that some of our Vendors offer. That will complete the look.

Looks fantastic. Much better than the colorless indentation we get from the factory. Where and how much?

I usually prefer subdued but I like it, it's not that flashy. I'm thinking the Jake skull in that design would look bad a$$!

Ebay. I think it was around $120. I forgot already. If you're really interested PM me and I will find out for you.

It looks like something you would find at a garage sale for $3.00. IMHO

I'm kinda split on it. It's not something I'd likely put on my Stingray, but that's a mix of personal preference and the direction I'm going with my visual mods. That being said, it's not a bad looking piece of kit.

Chrome has it place, I was looking at the same thing. Under the hood chrome is where I like it. That's nice looking.
