Just don't care for that style of blackouts.

My new Corvette Enhancements ones should be on the car right now, thank you very much UPS. 
Asking about the lower fascia here. Blackouts will stay in one form or another. Goes with the cars theme.

I'm kinda partial to painted lower fascias. I like your exhaust tips.

Not for me
blackouts look cool on car show cars but having them on a car driving down the hwy you are takeing your life in your own hands and the people following you most states they are against the law to have on the car.

The black outs look cool. I wonder how much it would interfere with your break lights and reverse lights. I also wonder if the local LEOs would hassle you for it.

Thanks for the inputs everyone!!! The blackouts are staying, no questions about that. They compliment the tint and black inserts on the wheels. The wife OK'd the lower fascia painting, so it's just a matter of when.
And for all you saying Nay.....you have no taste!!!!! Just kidding. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I wanted to get a broad mix of opinions on the proposed change. Can't please everyone, but got enough of a mix to make me feel comfortable that I'm NOT going completely against the grain and making a serious styling mistake with the car.

I like both. Like you said, they go with the theme. I just wouldn't do the blackouts simply to avoid getting a ticket, because then they'd get me for the no front plate and illegal tint as well. Looks cool.
