Default WOW! looks great

Very different look, I like it. The white A pillar is most dramatic.

You Sir have addressed the few design details that I felt were missing. The A pillar being painted was the big one. Excellent !!!!

Beautiful ride, but I don't get removing the name and stingray emblems.

Because to many, it looks cleaner, everyone sees it differently...personally I don't mind the flags or the lettering, just hate the fish....

I still think GM goofed not putting the "CORVETTE" lettering on the flat area to the bottom right of the painted bumper section.

Get notified of new replies

To AW...finally some pictures with mods

Some people feels it gives the car a cleaner look. It does, IMO, but I'm neutral on whether I'd do it myself or not. Either way suits my tastes in that regard.

Yeah, I'm removing my side emblems when the car materializes. I agree it looks cleaner, but it also makes it easier to clean and polish.

On my SUV I have the stick on raised emblems and I almost always jam my hand on it when washing the car. Even being careful I've started to damage my MF towels on them as they always catch on the emblems. I can be pretty sure that the Stingray emblem is going to catch my MF wash towel and possibly draw blood.

Seriously though, when it's colder and you're washing the car the emblems can "sting" if you're not careful.

OK but Doesn't look right without the Stingray Emblem. You could put a Z51 badge there, no. The A pillars and roof look good. At first I didn't think anything about the Stingray name. People I know ask me, are you getting a Stingray and that they really like it. I am into the Stingray now.
