corvette pilot what front bumper is that on your car? The whole front end looks really good on your car.
For the couple of guys that have the Z06 badges on their cars I was wondering why? Would they leave a hole there if removed or something? I'm not trying to be an ahole just wondering, there are plenty that would call rice on a Z badge on a C6.

Yes there is a hole there that must be addressed. Some have a body shop fill and paint it. Some add their own custom made badge, Z51, LS2 or LS3, or even Z06. Personally, if someone is going to spend the money to make a Z06 clone, who cares what type of badge they use. You can also put side markers there, but that looks to "BMW ish"! Whatever..floats the owners boat, it's their car! Keep them coming, these cars are looking great!

[QUOTE=Swiftrider08;1571093258]Guess I only have 1/2 of a custom since I have only done the rear and NOT YET installed the front widebody! Unless I can count the underhood area for the front!





Wow, I love your two-tone interior! Very, Very classy!

I think in your post on your mods you said you painted your new front end parts at home in the garage. Well in this picture above it sure looks like you have a big color match problem. Maybe it is just the lighting (sure hope so), but there is a definit line where the front fender stops and the door/rocker begins.
