Love the look as long as you don't refer to it as "murdered out". Love it so much that last fall I bought a black on black in black '16. First thing I did was swap the chrome badging for carbon flash, then the chrome strip grill for a Z06 grill. I've stopped here though and here's why. I have the red Brembos and kind of like the red tail lights, side markers and calipers breaking up the all black look. Open to your opinions and especially pics to decide if I want to go the final mile and black out the tail lights and side markers.

I like the tinted headlight look (not real dark...I understand there is a lighter tint film) but I have heard that the heat trapping has caused cracking and ruined headlight covers.....besides cutting down on nighttime visibility. Have you guys had any issues? How about your night driving? Thanks.

You would never know mine were tinted when lights are on or braking. Mine are painted with a mix of paint and clear coat, and the reflectors still work on the lights also.

Had mine tinted since 08 with no problems.
Here is a photo of the tinted side markers with a flash. Can't tell they are tinted.
