I'd say don't go with colormatch. Here's why: when I put the SS badge on my front bumper grille. Everyone said it was like a civic and called it rice. So if you color match, what other car has color matched headlights? So therfore, by the rice rules that everyone has imputted over the years. This would be the latest in a rice move

Btw that color matched headlight vehicle is the HONDA fit.

by that logic people would then classify the corvette rice. they've been coming with color matched lights for years.

Oh of course. But you know someone is gonna call it that. Or say" dude you ain't got no corvette, y you paint your headlights like that"

Oh I just read your sig. Believe me I don't think is rice. My car has been labeled that. But I don't care. LOL

idk if i could do color matched. i dont think it would look right. plus my color is hard to match. Flat black would look good for sure. Umm gloss black would too but im not sure wich one.
