Not a fan of Chrome.....

Crushed 1LE · 09-30-2019, 07:51 PM

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

Heck yeah! That looks great!

Markoz28 · 09-30-2019, 09:10 PM

I dig it. Maybe someone can do a vinyl on the flow tie

Grumpy1 · 09-30-2019, 09:21 PM

I'm with ya....Cant' stand chrome either!
Nice job on your emblem choices, car looks great.

NewfieZ · 10-01-2019, 04:55 AM

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.

Scottyz · 10-01-2019, 06:56 AM

That looks good. Been thinking about doing the same on my car

unavailablezl1 · 10-01-2019, 08:14 AM

They say, once you go black you never go back

Mize442 · 10-01-2019, 08:35 AM

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 think it would, I would go with another color to get some pop out of them.

Grumpy1 · 10-01-2019, 12:08 PM

Here's what I did, changed all but left my a$$ bare......

Vigilante375 · 10-01-2019, 12:49 PM

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!
