Just throwing up some overdue pics of my blackouts/screens/SS letters and billet plate attatched to Z06 exhaust.

Just waiting on Mark at VnM who is going to make a nice rear licence plate frame to fill in the voids around backup lamps so I can get rid of that small ugly one you see there.

Not sure if I should go polished SS or black powder coat...any opinions?

What type of blackouts are those? Can we see a close up of them?

And are the turn signals up front still visible enough to be used during the day and at night?

Thanks!

Great ride!
