Default stainless inserts by dragonz28

just wanted to praise the guy and let everyone know what a qualty piece of work these stainless inserts are. Excellent fit and finish. I just painted my tail panel a flat black a few days ago and i received the inserts this afternoon. IMO they look awesome! I couldnt be happier and I cant forget about the price... you cant beat it!

I'll get some pics up tomorrow afternoon. I gotta charge the camera tonite.

Thanks Matt! I'll be getting a nose emblem off you...i should have done it at the same time but i forgot..

I got the z28 nose emblem, z28 "5.7 ls1" badges, the rear bowtie, and the ss hood scoop grille...I would've gotten the rear inserts but I already got the MBA ones

Great quality and a great guy to deal with!

I snapped some quick pics of the finished work. Im disappointed in the way the pics came out tho. Sun was being a beotch to work with so theres a pretty bad glare in each of the pics. kinda makes the paint look f'd up. I also took some close up shots but i'll have to re-take those later as the sun goes down so they come out better. Here is what i've got so far.

and before anyone complains...the camera is only a 1.3 mp camera. sorry! i sold my good 6mp cam and now that i want it i dont have it
