Default Vette in black...(outdoor latest pics)
Finally some better weather and then time for a run and a few pics taken outdoor...

Here are the final pictures:














Details of the custom front end...






Two more detailed pics of the custom front end (fully open mouth, with a custom satin black grill, plenty of fresh air through...i'm not able to prove it but i'd swear the engine is running slightly cooler with this front end...)

Very nice Panic, looks sweet as hell!!
Looks really mean now, I like it a lot!
I think I like it better than the red.
Is that matte black?

Awesome car panic. I love it.

Could you explain in a little more detail on how you customized your front bumper?

When I read that you were painting it matte black I thought you were crazy.
Now that I see it, its fantastic!

You are truly a man of vision, I must admit I was a bit skeptical about the exposed rivets on your flares when you were in the planning stages but seeeing it ,,,, WOW you nailed it, I knew that the Matte Black would work but wow does it ever exceed what I thought . That car is awsome, good luck with it and keep it between the ditches, It ROCKS. Peace,,,,,Moosie

At night the only thing the drivers you pass will see will be the NUMBERS and the GLOW of your exhaust. WELL DONE!!!!
