Default Mods completed

I have owned my 2015 Z51 for almost 18 months and I have finally completed the few mods that I wanted to do to get the car exactly how I wanted it.

- carbon flash splash guards (RPI Designs)
- smoked side markers and rear reflectors (G3 Creations)
- carbon flash emblems (Cultrag)
- window tint: 35% windshield, 20% sides and rear
- grill blackout kit in carbon flash (VetteFX)

I am currently waiting on a set of Michelin A/S run flats that will be delivered and installed next week.
Overall, I am very happy with the how the car turned out.

Nicely done!

Do you get harassed for the windshield being tinted like that? In my town, that's an immediate stop by any cop, that would get old quick to me.

I likey, a lot. The only other thing might be a carbon flash hood stinger. I added one (there are two good forum members that sell them) and it does look good

I have not been pulled over yet and although it does draw attention, I don't expect many problems. I have passed many police cars and have never been stopped.

I have been considering the carbon flash stinger for a while now. If I do anything else to the car it would be the stinger. My only concern is that it would be too much carbon flash/black on the car. My gut tells me it would look nice though.

Looks sharp the way you have it, but just for kicks.
Excuse my very rough rendering.

Not an issue with HUD. The car is a 1LT.

Car looks great, but like others have said, it sure would be an LEO magnet with the tinted front window and that dark of tint on the sides, at least around here.
