Default Arctic White mods
Okay, not the cheapest way to get what I wanted. Should have waited and bought what I wanted. Regretted not getting the black package so corrected my mistake...

First image is on the showroom floor and the rest are about 6 weeks later.

Installed CF rear spoiler, emblem package and Z06 grill. Painted mirrors CF, installed splitter and installed OEM back Z51 rims.

I must say, the more I see the Arctic White the more I like it. You're right though, the black highlights really pop and I love your tinting. Should have gotten the red seats though. Love that color combination...

Nice mods looks good. Although I like the original wheels better.

I kept them just in case I get modders remorse. Not sure how they will look with the black accents though.

May I suggest blacking out the middle part of the roof and getting ACS Zero 7 style side skirts to complete the look?

Well done. You need to get the exposed carbon fiber roof.

Black side skirts and poverty splitter and your done.

P.S. I do like the chrome wheels. How hard are black wheels to keep clean?

The black wheels are actually easier to keep clean I have found.

BTW love all the changes.. Except the black mirrors. But that's just my opinion (NV liked those)
