Recently got a '14 C7 3LT Z51 with a procharger and meth. I didn't like the overall exterior look, so i changed a few things. Blacked out the wheels, marker lights and replaced the chrome badging. Added a front poverty splitter . Side skirts will be here this week. Its a fun little hot rod.

Thank you. This is the first Vette I've ever owned. I have had several classic Hot/Street Rods in the past but nothing this modern. I must say, I didn't realize how nice of a car the Vette is. Quite, smooth and tons of power when you call for it, best of all I don't have to tinker on it all the time! I still love the old stuff, but this may change my mind a bit.

Bottom photo looks better! Good work!

Did you flip the bottom photo, as it looks like the steering wheel is on the right side in the bottom pic.
