I like the rear bumper but the fenders look too busy with the GS there.

Too much on the front fenders. Would be ok without the Grand Sport chrome molding, like on a base Vette.

Looks cool. What is the New Z16 option package?
Is it a Z06 with more carbon fiber stuff like the 2004 was?

I know what you mean, but I just didn't want to go through the trouble of neutralizing the GS emblem, it's growing on me.

I agree with you.

I agonized a little about that, tried them in the middle, real close to the GS, so I picked about a third of the way up, that looks about right for me.

I can't find anywhere noting a Z16 package, other than the fact it's called a Z16 Grand Sport (Google that, lots of hits under that name).

Plain and simple works best...who the he** knows or cares what a Z16 is?? Does not belong anywhere on the car, the glove box maybe!

"In honor of jpee"

jmo, but with the grand sport trending downward and the z16 trending upward, it looks odd to me, like someone didn't know which way to line it up. if it works for you, that's fine with me, too.
