Camera setting is on indoor, thus the reason for the blue hue. Change to outdoor and everyone will see how good carbon goes with machine silver.

Where did you get the Z06 style front bumper? Any issues with the installation? And what extra parts did it require? I would like to do that with my machine silver c6. Thanks

The front bumper is from SIC MOTORSPORTS in CA. They are a forum vender. No problems with the install. Staight up. Fits in OEM connections. The only thing is that the front sits a little low because the splitter is incoperated with the bumper. I fabricated a skid plate out of 3/16 aluminum plate and mounted it under the bumper. Works great.No extra parts needed. You can either use the front emblem off of your vette or can purchase one from SIC .You also will need the Z06 nose grill which you can also purchase from them.They furish a metal grill piece , which I installed but then I put a Z06 grill piece in front of it. If interested contact Daniel at Sic.

We sell the Z spoilers in any hydrocarbon finish you want. They are $125 shipped. We also offer side skirts, front splitters in matchign finishes. We have real cf pieces as well since some do not like the hydrocarbon look.
