It does look good, but im curious...what exhaust tips do you have? I like how they fill in the cut out on the bumper like that. Much cleaner looking.

Well the way I saw it... I figured there were probably quite a few black t/a's with z06 rims, I figured I would try something to set it apart from the crowd, worse came to worse... It's just pinstriping, it takes 5 seconds to take it off
