My Blu-Beast mods begin

I promised myself I wouldn't do any mods til later but I just couldn't help it. First done was the side fenders vent Z51 decal. I just think it need a identity like the Z06 & GS. Next was the front lip. The front look too high without one..IMO so I bought an Oem Z06 lip. Installation was a breeze using existing mounting holes. It's still high enough for me to clear my driveway without scraping.

Nice. Can you post a picture of your rims? They don’t look stock from what I can see.

Enjoy.

Did you consider removing that chrome fish emblem from the fenders? It’s one of those “less is more” mods that add a nice clean look. Those Z51 stickers might look really sharp by themselves there...
