Default Rear End Makeover...The Mods have Began

Well, I've officially began the change process for my AW C7.

Todate the list is as follows: CF Painted Center Roof and Halo, HRE P40 Brushed with Tinted Clear rims from Gerry, All Lug Wheel Lock Set, ARH 1 7/8in Long Tubes / High Flow Cats / Billy Boat Bullet exhaust with Speedway Tips. Most recently, back to the 'paint booth' for a rear end makeover. Maybe not for everyone, but it actually looks pretty darn good in person. Left for Vengence Racing on Friday for a 'few go fast goodies' so I can't wait to get her back.

Anyway, here's the new rear. Hope you enjoy.

I like the way you added paint to the rear bumper. Really looks good not all black as it was stock. Nice touch.

Looks great! I love the exhaust tips - they look like they belong there! I like the paint you applied. Hard to beat the white/black contrast on this car!

Default Good Job

This looks good!
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the look for the 2016. It is the best of what I've seen other's do.
Clean, and absolutely changes the look for the better.
NIce going....

What percent tint did you get for the rear hatch?

Looks very nice and kinda takes me back to the 59 and or 60 Vette where tail pipes came out of the bumper all be it on the side rather than middle. You might just be on to something with the idea.

The sound is what I had 'hoped for' with the NPP. I've had headers and bullets in the past, so I knew where I was headed.


Thanks for all the complements guys.
