Get the overlay.... when you sell the car take it off and sell it on the 4M. Never even look back

Here's an idea, find a vinyl wrap place and see if they can put vinyl over it. Might cost a couple of hundred bucks, but would be totally reversable, and do no damage to existing paint. Hell, they are wrapping whole cars now, don't see why they could not do just the rear lower valence!!

It's a nice addition, but $400 is a bit steep.

I have been thinking about this lately. My friend owns a business and got a few of his full size trucks "wrapped" with his company's logo. You know the car's you see around with that on the entire car.

I was thinking if a company can wrap an entire car, then they should be able to wrap my lower fascia area. If I get bored with it in the future, i can just peel it off....

Save your money to buy some other mods for your car. I painted mine will little to no experience in painting and came out really well and is still holding up, take your time taping it up and you will be ok. good luck

I think it looks great on any color vette. It gives it an updated look somewhat.

I'm just gonna hold out and buy the new bumper that has the C6 diffuser integrated. Looks like pure sex and like it should have been.

I used to use BlueBatMobile's products when I had my G35. I was Randys_G and GlenRoseFireFighter over on G35driver and my350z.

Why wouldnt you guys just paint it? It looks so much better and its cheaper. The vinyl and plastic ones look like crap up close and are a ripoff. Do what makes you happy to your car. Dont worry about the next owner. They will probably like it better painted that way anyways.

This was my last FRC
