Default 1st bling
It was nice this morning so I fired up the vette and drove down to Effingham to MidAmerica and made my first bling purchase, brake light red rear bumper inserts. Mounted them this afternoon. I didn't think to take a before picture but the red really sets off and dresses up the green rear end. I am also posting a full picture of the car. the only one I had posted yet was from the dealer in the show room.

Thanks, but the car is green. It is hard to tell in the picture.
