Looks good. I think the painted version would look best on the light color cars and the unpainted on the darker cars (for contrast)

but what do i know?

so let's see....

things that ruin a z06:

1. fixed roof only.

2. painted fender emblems in the interest of conrast.

got it.....

bottom line......you paid (or are paying) for it. do what looks/feels good to you.

take care,

rich
