I use ICE on my Avalanche and Hummer because it’s great for making the plastic look new. The stuff requires very little effort and produces decent results…but you’ll find that it makes the vehicle a dust magnet and doesn’t last very long. I don’t use it on the Vette because I get much better “depth” with Griot’s Best of Show wax (albeit with much more effort exerted).

Being that you’re in FL, one great feature of ICE is that you can apply it in the sun and instantly see what the vehicle looks like in sunlight (don’t use the detailer in the sun though…it streaks). Many times my C6 looks great in the garage after a waxing and I pull it out into the sun and see all the smudges I have to then touch up.

Anywho…pics look great.

I'am glad you avoided defacing your C6
with unnecessary extra badages, scoops,
spoilers, chrome strips and widebody panels.
Yours is the way a C6 should look.
Clean and uncluttered.

Man those are some HUGE exhaust tips!

I like the lights where did you get them from and what's the cost? Easy to install DIY?
Do they have those DRL's in factory color but brighter?
Will the DRL's burn out quicker if they are brighter since they do double duty as turn signals?

I have a question on the LED DRL's. Did you use a resistor or do you have the hyperflash? If you have the hyperflash, at what rate does it flash? Did you get the DRL's from a forum vendor?

Thanks

i got the DRL white LED's from JWmotoring a vendor here..he's in the parts for sale section alot...i think they were $25.00...actually they are supposed to last longer than conventional halogens and they actually run cooler and use less power. I got my HID fogs off of ebay for like $45..and they have lasted a good year now with plenty of usage..install is pretty easy for both through the fenderwell..i just turned my tires toward the side i want to work on.

I'd like to do the LED bulbs eventually because of the lower heat. Plastic sockets will last a lot longer with less heat... I use the ICE product on all the black plastic pieces of my car including the inner wheel wells - you can't beat it - but, I use Rejex on my JSB paint.

Looks nice!

I used ICE on my Vette --- agree that it requires very little effort and produces decent results…but ICE turned my Vette in to a dust magnet. Switched to NXT 2.0, and no more dust magnet.
