Default So, it was clean... (56k die screaming)

...and I kinda went batshit with the camera.

Which ones are decent and which suck? I'm trying to delete some of them.














p.s. How gay would a ZR-1 colored CETA panel look?

Nose is getting repainted sometime this month. I'm going to /TRY/ to find a way to lose the front plate. Maybe hang it from the airdam. But Richmond is /rough/ on the front of your car (parallel parking).

As for the CETA panel: I can't pull the trigger on a black one, which is why I asked if that ZR1-silver color would be too light or not. The badges on the doors are getting that silver color as well, so's the center panel...yet Im still not sure that it'd look right on that much of my bumper.

Edit: It'd be nice to get a verdict on that CETA panel before I go to get the nose painted. Body shop owes me a favor, so I may have em throw that on while Nationwide is paying to paint my nosecone. That being said.

Poll post time.

Silver IMO would be too "in your face". It'll work with your rims, but it'll clash with your tips. That much of a 'shine' there wouldnt work nearly as good as the black would w/ those tips.

You've already got black on your taillight panel so its not like the black would be out of place for the CETA mod. Silver/chrome fill ins, and silver TA emblems would offset and work better w/ your rims and side profile, but for the rear the CETA mod = black.

Looks smooth the way it is tho

I think you need to keep them all. They all look nice. I'm still trying to master digital photography. I'm learning angle and background seem to be the key. Looks like you already do a good job with both.

EDIT: Oh and I like the ground effects. Take them off and you'll have a lot of unsightly holes to deal with.

How about gunmetal CETA with the centers of the ZR1's to match?

Far as rims go, I'm content with the ZR1s over the 16s it came with.
(And for $150 for the set, it beats the 5-600 people wanted for their WS6 wheels)

I'm not a big fan of polished/chrome in general anyhow.

The pics turned out great...but two tips for pics. Roll up the windows and turn off the radio.
