Kinda reminds me of one of those ricer cars that has half of the car painted and half the grounds effects not painted. You know, the one's that have the "Under Construction" stickers pasted on the window.

I'm sorry, but your choices in custom paint aren't for me First the "smoked" TS facia and now this. Please paint your bumpers black again... both of them.

Just my $0.02 for what it's worth.

I don't like either of them. The Red/Black maybe a closer combination but it is still too much. QS over Black just doesn't work for me. And I have a QS Z06. I thought about the subtle black paint just above the mufflers in the small section of the lower bumper. I've even toyed with the stripe kit but just can't seem to bring myself to doing it.

Then again. They're your cars guys. Do em up in whatever floats your boat. You're paying for it.

I think the red car looks awesome, especially with the Spectre -Werkes fascia. The best combo of TR with black accents I've seen are the ones with the single wide stripe that cascades over the rear spoiler to end above the license plate recess.

I don't care for it personally but do what YOU like. IMO- the only color on the rear that looks good is black if you want something contrasting the rest of the car. MY, TR, QS look good w/ black rear.

Sticks out like a sore thumb! The bumper always needs to be the darker color (black)!

I was thinking of doing something like that but with a red bumper on a black z06. Not sure now. Can anyone photoshop that?

What in the world made you do that? I think it looks hideous, but to each their own.
