What's happenin' guys & gals... Decided it was time for a change.. Went from TTII's & a billet grille to black ZR-1's & self customized grille... Let me know what you think... Sorry if the pics aren't that great.(crappy camera)

Thanks,
Mike.

I'm not so sure I'd be as brave to go from TTIIs to ZR1s, but the car looks good. Looks like mine without the hood. I might be doing the opposite, and getting TTIIs for mine.

Thumbs up

The grill looks great.

The black wheels look outstanding with the other black things (grill, side mirrors, top, etc.) I always thought red with black was a great color combination.

Did the side mirrors come black or did you paint them black? I thought they were supposed to be the same as the body color.

The grille is pretty cool. It's one of those things that you don't notice right away--a really cool mod!

Thanks for all the positive compliments guys, I appreciate it alot... I was pretty much fed up with having to bust my *** to make the TTII's shine, only to have them dull out after a week or so... So a buddy of mine gave me the option of a straight trade on wheels, couldn't pass it up... As for the grille, I took the original billet one to Airborne coatings & had them powder-coat it gloss black for me, only cost me $25... Then I just added the Chevy emblem on it, which is originally off of the 93-97' Z28's front fascia... All in all I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks again,
Mike.
