I know this won’t be ALOT of people’s cup of tea, but here are the changes to my car for 2026.

Rice or a nice? Lol

I like it! Tasteful mods.Not over the top and can appear to be OEM options.

How are the headlights at night?

Are those Infirai smoked or clear taillights?

Thanks buddy. My goal is always classy with minimal flash, but flash where it’s needed.

I literally just got the car off the lift. I haven’t driven it yet to test the headlights.
The taillights are the Morimoto XB gen2 in their standard out of box smoked/clear finish

I'll give you a mostly nice. The front/rear emblem is an improvement over my stock faded one. I do have a new one to put on but then it will start fading. The headlights are the same ones I have so of course those get a thumbs up. They are so much better/brighter than stock. The side badges look great and could pass for OEM if you didn't know better. The wheels are nice although I like my chrome OEM spyders better. The painted calipers could also pass for OEM. I'm not going to pass judgement on the tail lights until I see them lit up. I'm not really sure what's going on with the exhaust tips, I'm rather partial to the dual mode exhaust so I and quiet it down on road trips. I'm not crazy about the rear spoiler. Black is fine but I don't like the duck tail sticking up in the middle. Black Corvette lettering on the rear and yellow on the dash are clean. The only thing I would call rice is your PMperformance logo and bat wing (?) on the hatch.

Hahaahah, thanks man.
I had the all red tails before and swapped out to the smoked as the car darkened up a bit.
The spoiler is not for everyone. I get tired of seeing the same zr1 spoiler all the time and wanted to be less cookie cutter.

The tips were pointed out because it’s a new axle back. I switched from Corsa Touring to AWE Touring. The tips are significantly beefier as my Corsa’s were the old style

The “batwing” is a dragon because the car was one referred to as the Yellow Dragon and it stuck with me.
The PM-Performance gets me paid and the name of my entity that pays for my toys.

Here is a before pic:

All looks good to me except the "batwing".

Last edited by jbc1995fb; May 18, 2026 at 06:18 PM. Reason: "batwing" or "dragon" still needs to be removed. lol

Thats what I was going for. Thank you. I could never get this look with my Hondas. I’ve always tried, but never succeeded.

It’s actually a dragon. I been contemplating taking it off. I put those stickers on probably 5 yrs ago.
A neighbor called my car “The Yellow Dragon” one day and it kind of stuck. Hahaah

I love everything except for the stickers on the back window. If it were me I would have done them in a matte black vinyl so they are still noticeable but not in your face noticeable. Other than that minor detail.... id drive it LOL

I dig everything but the spoiler. A bit much for my taste, but since it’s your car my opinion doesn’t mean much.

Paint your rotor hats gloss black (or silver.)

Anythings better than rust.

Maybe a bright red racing stripe?

One that goes over the driver, not one of those hokey "centered" stripes. About 3" wide should do it, with .5" stripes on each side of the main stripe.
