It's night now, so no pics yet, but what a day! Three deliveries at the office... a Mangowalk stubby, a set of OEM black/chrome kidneys, and a Jet Black door plug for the driver's keyhole. :D

Picked her up from the detailer who had also swapped out the amber front reflectors for clear/whites and stripped her of those pesky badges. Unfortunately, they weren't able to eliminate the front plate as hoped, so I'll order a fresh bumper at some point soon.

Boy, on a black car, the white reflectors and black/chrome grille are just perfect (so I have a spare set of graphite kidneys if anyone is interested). Now she just need some better plate frames, possible black rondels and a tint job!

Didn't mean to carry on, but just wanted to share a good day with fellow Z-thusiasts! :D
 
A few pics. I got home just as the evening was getting along, so the quality is a bit iffy...

First, clear reflectors. Makes a world of difference, especially on black.

Original Ambers...

New Clears...

Ahhhh, and now with fewer badges...

Then replaced the OEM 3.0 grille (graphite gills) for one with black gills...

And the best (and least expensive) of all... a STUBBY!

Not pictured: the keyhole plug. I'm thinking of "blacking out" the roundel with black and grey film from Bimmian. She needs window tint, too (perhaps 40% all around). And I'd love to replace the graphite-colored headlight housings with black ones, but need to look into this more (do xenons come with black housings)?

Of course, with winter a few months away, the next mod should be seasonal rubber!

Cheers. :)
