Default Carbon Fiber lip and skirt installed !!!! PICS

Big thanks to both Pete (QuickZ06) and Gregg (Gotz06) for the products. I got the side skirts from Pete but he did not have in stock this front lip. Looking at the "Parts for sale" section, I found Gregg that just happen to be selling his front lip that he bought from Pete a couple of weeks prior (Gregg decided to go the Tigershark front route). I must say that the quality of the parts are incredible. Unless you have already bought something from Pete you won't believe the quality at the cost. I installed all the parts this week and wanted to share the pics. While looking for pics prior, I could not find a red one that had both the front and sides. I found some with the front and some with the sides. So, if you have a red Vette and wondered what both look like installed... Here Ya Go.

BTW- I sure am glad that I went with this lip and not the other one. When exiting my garage there is a down grade and this lip comes within about an inch from touching the ground because I am lowered all the way on stock bolts. But it looks good. Let's see how long I can keep it from hitting the ground.

Looks awesome mine will look the same soon. Mine is yellow with black wheelsand yellow lips. Yellow calipers blacked out lights and one of those swollen hoods. I just picked up my 19 x 12 waiting for my quaters to come in. I am making my own carbon pieces for the sides and the front. Did you space your wheels to get the out like that?

I got an extra front bumper Im working on and 2 extra rears with a diffuser Idea I have. I also made a Daytona syle wing but can decide to put it on or not. Your car looks awesome I saved the pics in my corvette file. They make great screen savers mixed in with my own cars I have had.

Cool, thanks man. Hey, once you have progressed enough to share your ideas on the rear diffuser please do so. I want a rear diffuser too. That's the reason why I painted it black to break up the big tail.

Yeap, I had to put a 1/2" adapter on my wheels to sit where I want them.

Awesome! I've been wanting to see those on a red car. I am seriously thinking about adding these to my red Z.

I'd be really worried about scraping, especially going out of my drive.
