I haven't seen any yet. A ZL1 grill on a regular SS or V6 bumper? Sounds odd but I'm sure it looks ok.

Awesome story man! My parents like to surprise me from time to time, so I know how that feels! Good parents you got there

Did you get used to the visibility pretty quickly? I hear it is not THAT bad...

Thanks man, I totally agree

And the visibility is not bad at all. People complain but that's usually RIGHT when they get the car or when they don't own one and sit in it. It might take a bit of getting used to at first, but after a week or two it's easy as pie. Also, there's not really blind spots unless you come up to a "Y" shaped road, like a road with the a fork. Then if you have to look back and to your right, THAT can be a PITA, haha.

Otherwise, no problems at all.

Maybe you'll be the first to show us????

Looks great man! What percentage tint did you go with? 20%?

Darn, well regardless it looks great. How did it go on for you? I'll have to redo mine eventually cause I messed up a few places but I'm fine cause I know it'll wear over time anyways.

Great story, so interesting, that it didn't seem long at all. My old man, (who passed a little over a year ago), had me turning wrenches when I was 7, so I can appreciate your interest in restoring. And congrats on your new 45th...I have the same exact one! Love every minute in it! Enjoy it my friend!

Thanks for reading! Sorry to hear about your father, but he's in a better place now!

Have fun driving your 45th out there!
