Default New Paint on the Waterfall Pics!!!!!

So I finally got my paint and interior done. I think I am the only person on the planet that has done this as I started a thread a few months back asking if anyone has done this to there Vert and I got no reply.

So tell me what you think??? I also have WCC Seat Hoops that I'm debating about installing, What are your thoughts on the Hoops?

It looks very nice. Personally, I'm too lazy to maintain the black surfaces.

I remember your original thread. I had commented that you could try installing a OEM black waterfall to test the look.

I like it! I think it looks better on yellow than it would on my MSG vert, however I do believe this is the first time I've ever seen this paint mod. It looks better than I had originally imagined it.

What color top do you have? Black or Oak?

I have a black top, I also have WCC seat hoops that I have not put on yet. It would be pretty Cool if I was the first to come up with this mod!

When I told people and my wife that I was going to paint the waterfall and lower rear facia, people thought I was crazy including my wife. Now my wife thinks it is really nice, she likes the new cushions, and softer leather. Gota keep the wife happy!

I also have the WCC chrome seat hoops. I think those will look great on your vert and will help add to the look of the black decklid.

You may be the first. I've never seen this done before. Hit some Corvette and car shows this summer. I'm sure you will get a positive response!

It took me a long time to find it, in fact I got it through Southern car parts about 2 months ago, I forgot the guys name ,but he is one of the managers there if I can remember correctly. He had 2 on his desk, there is a chance that he still has the other one. It is not on his website, you will have to call.

I'm glad that I am seeing a lot of positive feedback on this mod, a local shop painted my lower facia and the decklid/waterfall for $300. I thought that was a good deal
