Help me decide! Photoshop request.
Like the title says I need some help deciding whether or not to paint the lower rear fascia black and fill in corvette with black letters. I don't know if it will look good with nassau blue.

It will look fine. There are plenty of post on this and I am sure there are one in your color, but maybe a Photoshopper will step up.

Painting the lower valance only works on light colored cars, or I would have done it. I think it looks good. Not a fan of painting/vinyl/chrome letters on the embossed bumper. As it is, it is
'subtle' , you know it's a 'Corvette', it dosen't need to be 'screamed'!
I would lower it, and remove the BSM's, but that's me.

If you search the picture threads you will find one of your colour painted black. I have the same colour on my Z06 and I've decided to black out the lower fascia, matt black, when it gets a paint job.
