Default vette ceta?

i was just looking at pics of a C5 when i started wondering... has anyone ever painted the lower valence of their vette kinda like the ceta mod for a t/a? the C6's have that section of the bumper blacked out, but i wanna see some pics of it on a C5. anyone?

I am sorry man but some things should just be left on the T/A, one being this. Not everything needs to be mixed between the GM line up. Sorry dude I dont mean so sound like an *** but so many people including myself come up with weird ideas.

They should've left that for the Trans Am too?

As for Corvettes, I've seen a few of them with the rear valance pained. It looked pretty good.

ummm... right. i dunno why Ford did that to the 03-04 Cobra... they should have known that it is a T/A EXCLUSIVE MOD. those morons.

anyway, there was pics of a silver Vette with the lower part of the rear painted and it looked great. try a search and maybe it will come up.

See that looks god because it was done professionally, and to be perfectly honest it would look like crap if it didn't have that little "outline" that helps separate the two colors.
