Most of the over lays are painted. There are several companies producing vinyl and plastic over lays in black that I know of. I guess the main question is what color would you like to go with?

For black, silver or a gray would look good. You could also do red, but it might be too much.

Nothin' wrong with black on black...



I think the Corvette Enhancements overlay would look great with the Z fender guards (at least it will on my car).

Don't start messing with The Dark Side Black on Black is the best, albeit the toughest combo to keep clean, and sleekest look out there. Only one better.......A Trip Black..
