Looks great, mine is due up for this treatment as well. Nice photo work too btw.

On an offnote, how do the Z06 screens effect the output of the fog lights at night, if any? Contemplating a set to cover up the vararam.

Great job! Looks awesome! And, the right color too.
The screens don't really effect the fogs. Of course, I have HIDs, so it's hard to tell, they're so bright. I suggest changing over to the HIDs anyway. You won't regret it for a second!
