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.

The mods get more and more expensive.

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...
