Not a fan of Chrome.....
I really have a hate-on for chrome on new vehicles. Way to 70ish for me. She looks so much better - there is now a definite 'them' going on now ----- Black on Crush!
Got most of it removed except for the buttons on the door handles and the chrome Flow-Tie. Not sure how to deal with that guy - not sure I want to pull the front of the car apart. I could buy another grill so I have the original piece available. Maybe next year I'll tackle that bastard. Thanks to Emblem-Pro's. They have fantastic customer service and the product is very good. Not OEM, but very good. Exhaust tips - Diamond Black to go with the AWE Exhaust ZL1 - Grill ZL1 - Carbon Heat Extractor Rear Bumper Bow-tie Rear Bumper Lug Nuts Valve caps Anyways....as everyone says - "it didn't happen without pictures"! So here they are Last edited by Crushed 1LE; 09-30-2019 at 07:58 PM. Reason: additions |

I want to do this to my Black ZL1, just wondering if all the black emblems would get lost with in the rest of the car, if that makes sense.

I like what you have done. Can you give me the details on the lug nuts you chose.
I want to do that color or titanium blue |

Mmmmm? Hard to say on a black vehicle. Emblem Pros have a finish called Titanium Black. It's like a black chrome finish. This is what I used on the heat extractor.

My old man was a Cadillac Guy. We are talking 70s-80s...…..big, long, chrome filled Caddys. Me being the oldest, guess what job I had to do, when he washed them. Chrome back in those days, is not like the Chrome of today. Oh no!!!!!!
So I am with you......I don't like Chrome, thanks Dad! Little bling-bling things I don't mine, but most of it, no thanks. |

I don't mind the little chrome outside. I hate the little chrome inside. Especially the one on the gauge cluster.
Between 1130 and about 230, the sunlight hits it perfectly and sends a beam of light right into your eyes. Even with polarized sunglasses, it is annoying! |
