Question To grill or not to grill...........

I am toying with this. I was wondering if the factory would leave off the chrome strip if I asked. Look better?

No, the factory will not.

No, does not look better.

The grill reflects the first generation Corvette grill.

The factory does not take customer requests...it is a volume factory, not a custom rod shop like on Velocity. Unless it has an option code, nothing happens.

It's not the look I would want either. Good choice on going with the 2LT, along with the other extras you will really be glad you got the HUD.

I will leave the bar but paint it black I think, Becky did this to her white one but I had no clue so apparently others like it open too. I just think it looks cleaner IMO but thanks for the feedback even though you are all wrong and Becky and me are right!

I covered the chrome with carbon fiber vinyl. I like it better than the chrome and if I change my mind it peels right off.

I prefer the factory chrome, all black looks unfinished

Stirring the pot a little bit.

A little extra "vertical" Chrome. Ran some Red Pinstiping Tape across the Center Bar for a little contrast with the striping on the Black Wheels, the Red Calipers and the Adrenaline Red Interior.

When I get tired of it, it comes right off.
