Very nice and the Z51 sticker looks pretty good on the rear end.

I like most of the mods... but don't like the Z51 badge...
In the first place, I never understood why they had to move the CORVETTE name from the middle to the lower right...
But adding a badge there, IMHO, doesn't look that great... And I'll tell you why... the Corvette name is IN the body.. and this badge is ON the body... to me this doesn't match very well... JMO

BTW do you have a full profile shot?? thanks!

Good thing you have the Z51 vanity plate and then right next to it you have the Z51 badge... reminds me of the pickup trucks that have Z71 on them.

Car looks good though, love the brakes. You go to... that school in your avatar? I'm guessing VT. Not big into the college football loop.
