looks good, but something just doesn't look right with that tape line, did you do it yourself?

the tapeline on the bottom got a lil messed up but its an easy fix...the grill itself doesn't really have a good line to tape in some areas because most of it is curved but overall im happy with it

I liked it better all red. Maybe just the bowtie outlined in black but it's your car and if your happy thats all that matters.

I dunno what it is...I like the idea behind it, but all red it just doesnt look right.

You did a good job tho, dont get me wrong. But I think you need some more black for the offset w/ the whistler lights, and the corners. Is a ZL-1 stripe in the future? If so, I think that'll make it stand out a lot more.

I like it, but I'm a little biased.
