It just looks so good.

I agree that it’s crazy overpriced. I think monetarily it’s worth only about $20 but I couldn’t resist getting it. I don’t know if C4-C6 Corvettes have a similar badge but I know the C3 Stingray did and I always thought it was cool.

i am not a fan of blacked out tail lights, side markers, etc but on your white exterior it really looks awesome.

Also installed some black lug nuts and Z51 decals on the side vents yesterday. Lowered all the way down on stock bolts as well.

Thank you! I didn't want the full blackout look for the tails. That's why I went with the partial trim kit instead. Here's how they look in better lighting.

Did you paint the "Corvette" lettering on the wheel or is that a decal?

That looks awesome. Where did you get the CF? I'm looking at replacing mine and would love to know how close the CF matches OEM

thank you! I got them from eBay here's the link it's the cheapest one you'll find for the price and they are APR manufacturer. It was a pretty easy installation, everything bolts exactly like Factory as well. Fits Grand Sport and ZO6
