Default Almost black enough!!

Just got the windows done. All that's left to do is lower it a little, and get the emblems darkened, although I'm not sure how yet. I'm thinking having them hydro dipped in carbon fiber??

Not sure about how to get the emblem black but you definitely have a "murdered" Z.

Pardon me but "murdered" is a flat or satin finish on black...not glossy. Just an FYI.

Well put, but some people just don't understand that, if YOUR car does not look the way THEY want it to look, something is wrong with it .

Nice looking Z06, OP....
