Default Completing the "look"

This year I changed from Chrome wheels to Black wheels, I then tinted the windows and Blacked out the tail lights and side markers and added c/f rear diffuser, rear spoiler, splash guards and all the side vents.
This week, I completed the look I wanted by changing the Blue number "1" in ZR1 to Black, got rid of the Blue on the inter-cooler/supercharger surround and finally Blacking out the Chrome part of the front and rear Corvette flag emblems.
I do like the Blue calipers so I am not touching them.

Last summer...



This year...



Final touches....

like the black on the shroud around the supercharger - looks much better than the blue under the fish bowl hood.

Looking good, Racer!

How about acquiring a Corsa Xtreme in a matte/gloss black finish?

The black wheels are so much nicer in my opinion.

I might dip my Corsa exhaust just to see what it looks like, if it looks lousy, peel it off in 30 seconds.

Absolutely outstanding flow and consistency. I wouldn't change a thing. Even the flag looks awesome. You truly have one of a kind.

I vote "yes" for both looks!!!...

I'd love to see a shot with the sun on the side of the camera shot rather behind on this one...(to see more of the wheel detail)
