Default New mods for my C7-Updated, better pictures.

Just finished up these tasteful mods. Lamix smoke lens overlays and added the stage 1 Z06 lip splitter. Also as you can see blacked out the chrome strip on grill.
cheers

how'd you black out the grille? Much simpler than removing the bumper to swap in the Z06 grill, I imagine.

There are a few threads about blacking out that chrome strip. You can use black electrical tape (many do that) or you can paint it with Plastidip or get a cheap roll of vinyl tape with a carbon fiber look to it and put that on (which is what I did.)

Another option is to wait for 2016 cars to see what it is GM is doing as that's now automatic when choosing the black badge package. If you like it, you can buy their part.

Shop that did my clear bra wrapped the chrome strip with 3m vinyl. As stated you can cover it a variety of ways.

How do the side markers look with the lights on and at night? Still bright enough?

Love what you have done to the car. Have you thought about debadging the stingray? Would make the car cleaner.
