Yellow Vettes
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.

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.
