Looks great!
However, be honest...you had to be a little concerned about the new splitter bottoming out driving down off the ramp right?!

I have to admit when I backed up onto the ramp and got out of the car to take the pic I thought oh **** this isn't going to be pretty coming off this ramp. All I could think about was my wife saying "that's what you get for trying to be cute". Didn't scrape at all

Looks Great!! 
I've been kicking around the idea of getting a front splitter like that since I bought my Z. My driveway looks to be about the same pitch as the ramp your on maybe a little less. My Z is lowered all the way on stock bolts. Is yours car still on stock bolts? I'm worried about taking off the whole nose with the rodes around here.
My real question is how did you attach your splitter to your car?
Thanks.

It's a Carbon Fiber Mallett hood. MCM made the hood for Mallet Corvettes. I purchased it at Carlisle. Here is the thread I posted about it.

Nice !!! Man that interior is clean.
I guess my interior would be next. I've painted my center console and added a MGW shorter shifter, but not sure what I would do next.
