Default Body color spoiler and Door handles on a Silver Z06

I installed the Body color spoiler and door handles on the my silver z06. I think it makes the car look better. However I chose to use the black body colored license plate holder to break out the back a little bit. Black license plate holder is finished with a clear coat and looks much better than the cheap black plastic holders that dealers install.
Here are the pictures

Maybe its just me, but I actually like the black accents on the car (rear spoiler, front air splitter, door handles, etc). I mod my cars as much as anybody but I dont think I'll be doing this.

Yours looks great, just not something I think I want to do to mine.

If I do either of them, I think I would do the door handles.

It looks nice but I like the stock look.At least you left the emblems and splash trims alone

I concur with you 2k1 Vette but different strokes as they say.

And dark (black/LMB) cars are harder to keep looking clean and are hotter in a hot climate. Gawd, I love silver!! And my Q44 wheels won't show brake dust as badly!

I like that mod. I've done the door handles on my DSOM, and have "been on the fence" about the spoiler . Not any more!

I like the door handles and the spoiler but now the spoiler looks like it's begging for a wider light bar. Isn't there a company that offers a light bar with more LED's?

I like it and plan to do the same to my Z when I get it. I am in Carlsbad near Weseloh Chevy and would love to check it out in person some time.

Doing the same to mine. Love the monochrome look, especially in MSM. Thanks for posting so I can see what it'll look like in a couple of days!
