Since mine is all black, it isn't all that noticeable.
Very nice mod there. Looks great.

It looks good.
Funny, but when I owned my C5 a lot of guys wanted to and did paint that area black. I thought GM might have taken a cue from the C5 guys when they designed the C6.
And now, C6 guys want it painted body color. Go figure.

It looks like you did a great job and it looks fine. It's a matter of personal opinion but I still prefer the contrasting black lower fascia which IMO gives the rear of the C6 more of a defined, 'sleeker' shape.
You could always paint yours red.

One of the main reasons I painted it was because of waxing. The old plain black finish would show the dried wax and it is very difficult to get off.

I happen to have on of those lower fascias for sale in the c6parts section. It has a tiny little gash on it that could be easily repaired during prep for something like this.
PM me if you are interested

Looks good Ron - - nice work !
Couple of questions.. . . did you do the paint work yourself or have it done? If done commercially - - -what shop and approx cost ??
I've been noodling on the same idea . . .
thanks-

Yep! Being a recent convert from a C5 to C6, I was thinking the same thing!
