Anyone have MY vette with the lower rear fascia painted black? I'm thinking of this mod
Could someone photoshop the rear fascia of this pic (flat black)

I think that it may look better with just the lower portion of the rear facia painted black like a lot of people do. That is just my opinion though. I do like the complete rear black look, specially on a yellow Vette, but that is so drastic too. take a look at just the lower portions that are flat or gloss black and see what you think.

I think this is something I will be doing or getting done in the near future. The lower portion that is....

Are the majority of them going flat black? or gloss black, or what? just for refference, I know to each his own likes and all.

If you wanted to just try it out,Ecklers has an overlay for this. The part number is 50218, and it is $399.99. Self adhesive and lightly textured.

Looks awesome. I would even go as far as painting the "corvette" above the plate black also.

I just added the rear black out panel offered by Corvette Enhancements (a supporting vendor) that I got for Christmas



I think it looks great and the product is easy to install if you follow the directions.
