I like subtle changes like this. Looks great! One step closer to completely blacked out.

Well, it's going on exactly how you shipped it to me. For some reason the paint looked in better shape than I thought when I pulled it out of the box after not seeing it all winter. I'm going to go with the "z06" z28 emblem custom made so it fit's the gap well. I was talking to emblempros about it but he disappeared on me. I'll take some pictures when I get it on.
