I think a stock set of lights, or chrome backing, would match your side markers more.

I hate C6 rims so I won't hate on those, it is on any car. LOL

Other than very nicely done!!!

Looks nice, love the intake and engine white/blue but looks like it'll be a pain to keep clean. Nice car!

Did you clear the white in the engine bay? I have heard of people not doing that and it turning yellow.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! The white was cleared on the intake and coils, and it holds up well with the heat. No yellowing so far.

Lemons, you may notice my signature has chrome lights. I actually have a spare set and swap them as I feel like it. The chrome ones match really well, then I'll get bored and swap the blue ones on and feel like a million bucks! Then I'll begin to feel it's ricey and I'll swap to the clean chrome ones... it's a fun cycle

I've never understood why people want to debadge a car, that's the car's identity, it let's people know the minimum of what that car is capable of.

On the upside, your car is pretty sharp looking.

QUESTION!

Where did you get that leather interior? Looks sweet with the two tone.

I debadge my car because:


I don't need a badge or emblem to state dominance. LOL

Nice loud car, but why take the badges off at all? Is it for a more clean look? Is it to make it a sleeper (for people with quieter cars)?

Correct, it looks a lot cleaner to me. It had a Ws6 emblem on it and I sold it.

Obviously for mine the sleeper approach won't work. My buddy did it with his Z28 for a while though, surprised a lot of people. Had some ugly *** snow flake rims on it... And a 100 shot. Sounded/looked like a stock V6.

The seats are from Hawksthirdgen, but I believe there are a couple other places that make the covers.

It's a cleaner look to me. I also have two tail light trim panels: one in white with blue acrylic letter fills and a ZL1 style LS6 emblem and one in gloss black with blue acrylic letter fills... again, for rotation as I get bored with the appearance

I really like the engine bay. If my car was white, id take the same approach with the intake.

I noticed the candy corn lights and the 6LE gauges. Looks good man. Only thing I don't like is the blue headlights.

I'm also not feeling the blue headlights, but otherwise looks good. I might of done the lights white to be color matched like C6 lights.
