I like the yellow calipers. It looks good on a ferrari and it looks good here.

Looks like the whole car makeover was a labor of love for you OP, nice work

Thanks. The yellow calipers really do look good in person. Sometimes pictures don't always do justice, especially with my photography skills

Thanks. Just wanted to make it my own. No more mods, that's what I keep telling myself. It's a losing battle.

Wow, best looking non z51 I've seen so far. Your mods are sweet. I LOVE the custom stingray stinger stripe on the hood, the blacked out base wheels, and the blacked out exhaust tips. Really

I'm curious, did you have the plan for all your mods before you got the car, or did one idea lead to another?

Awesome rig!

One idea led to another. I knew starting out I wanted to black out all the shiny parts. Others developed as I saw others modify their cars. Lot of inspiration on this forum.

Vinyl, pretty close match.

Kind of different, very Ferrari like. I am curious about your rims. It looks like you painted them satin or semi-gloss black and added a red stripe. Is the stripe painted red or a vinyl tape? Looks Good.

Yellow adds a pop of color, a little out of the norm. IMO it looks good in person.
Yea check out RIM RINGZ, $80 for all four. They have a great YouTube video. I'm having my dealer install the Z51 sway bars and the RIM RINGZ on my just ordered LRG 1LT coupe prior to delivery.

I like the stingray on the hood. I don't like your headlight treatment though. I love the stock headlight lens just as it comes from the factory.

Tastefully done with 1 exception-that sting ray on the hood is awful looking and craps up the car IMHO.

Powder coated satin black & rotors painted gloss black. The red stripe is wheel band.

Looks great. I like the hood stripe and how you painted the rear. Well done.

Default Added color matched license plate holder

Just got this from RPI & installed it. Debating leaving it color matched Vs Carbon flash. Opinions?

BTW I know the tags are expired.

nice - leave it, carbon flash too much of a contrast....you don't want your eyes going to the plate first...

Love the rear end and hood.

I'd go red calipers, too.
