The blacked fangs are done well, but it always saddens me to see one of the most striking and cool features of the 09-12 Zs (the fangs) get neutered out.

That said, none of this stuff should be a deal-breaker if you have a good deal and the desire.
....and you don't like unicorns.... WHAT? Oh come on...it was right there.....

Looks good, minus the tails. Did anyone notice how it was first titled as a white car?

Surprisingly lots of people blacked out the fangs back in the day and many people were also complaining that they removed them from the 2013 model. Eh?

I love the fangs and I had them painted. But I didn't paint them because I disliked them and wanted to hide them. I think it gives the car a much more aggressive look.

I was going to ask via their live chat function, and accidentally started the video. There is a shot in the video where you can clearly see it is the OEM MT shift knob, and the video voice-over also incorrectly stated it had a 6-speed automatic transmission. I felt like being nice and told them what's up

Too Funny...Most car salesmen are not knowledgable about basic stuff..

My 7AT was listed as a 7 speed manual...My Wife came home and was upset that the car she saw and called about was not an automatic..I called down and told them to LOOK in the car....

It was 7AT
