Default C6 body panel tint?

Hey, I don't really know what the part is called or how to explain it. I've included an image of this. I plan to paint my rims black and therefore want to accent more black on my white vette. Does anyone know how to get the look I posted in the pic here? It seems as if they either painted/tinted or placed a black panel over the white part of the car body that separates the windows from the rear hatch window, thus giving the illusion that the entire thing is black and one piece. Anyone follow me? I'd like to do this to my car. Thanks

That halo was painted, replaced or wrapped.

Wrap the halo, that way if you or the next owner ever wants to return to stock it's simple.

Reminds me of my 35th Anniversary Model. I like it.

That is a zr1, it has a carbon fiber halo, as they all do. You can easily vinyl wrap the halo black if thats what you want to do.

One can only assume it’s a ZR1. Sometimes you never know.
