I don't think you can go wrong either way. I know a lot of guys are attracted to the contrast, but for whatever reason imo, the rocker/splitter/diffuser contrast works better on the Z06s. Then again, I'm just not a fan of my cars looking too 'busy'.

Sorry for the 20 questions, you've really piqued my interest. 
I definitely would go for contrast, but that's just me. |
Yep, they took off all of the above, the supercharger cover, and the rockers. With a black base car, both the engine bay and door sills look great. It also helps that the black interior fuses well with the original black paint. I personally think that it would be worth the additional expense to at least wrap the sills if your new wrap isn't black nor is your original paint color black. Getting into and out of the car would look strange with this random colored sill that doesn't match your exterior or interior.

Ha Ha. None whatsoever. Like so many others, I'm always searching for a reason to get it on the road, so you'll be seeing me really soon!

So I know nothing about wraps, but you mentioned the paint remaining perfect underneath... After 5-7 years, will there be any difficulty in removing the wrap yourself, or would that be another job to be done by the pros?

Thank you sir. Keep in mind, the wrap can actually last the life of the car if you take care of it and don't do stuff like running it through an automated car wash. But a lot of people won't be that attentive, hence the 5-7 typical lifespan. I was advised to rub denatured alcohol via a microfiber cloth after I wash it every couple of weeks. That helps blend minuscule scratches our eyes may not even be able to see into the rest of the wrap.
And yes, you'll want to get a professional to remove it.

Thx a bunch man. The only headache they had involved the supercharger dome. Because it's carbon fiber and they didn't want to damage it, they actually had someone from the chevy service dept remove that. There's no way wrap it with it affixed to the rest of the hood. Other than that, it was business for them as usual.
