Looks good - matches you Vette nicely!

You should send your pictures to Vette mag or something and try to get a spread - looks pretty clean, I think they would go for it!

Thanks,Matt

I wanna change out the rims, to something with a better offset... Thennnn maybe I'll send them a picture. There's way to many nicer Vettes out there...and I don't have the money to spend. I need to win the lottery....

humility is a great quality - but....

Have you seen some of the Vette's the have spread in the mags?

Sometimes I see the engine bays and there is dirt and crud and the wheels need to be cleaned -

Seriously, it's worth a shot - it has a nice look the way it is

Thanks,Matt

Yes please, can you show any close ups ???
I ran the other day with my hood popped open (I leave it like that in the garage), I forgot till I saw it on the hwy, I was running at 190" and it was around 105' outside temp. So I stopped and closed it, I thought it ran a little hotter then, like 192' but no, it dropped to 109"
So wondering if your vent expels underhood heat ??
Looks killer IMHO, who did you get it from ??
NSF
PS there was another member that did the 2 vents on either side of the hood, I really liked that look too.

What happens in the rain? Are there drains that direct water away from the engine? Either way, it really looks great.

I never drive it in the rain....but there's an optional rain gutter. I didn't buy it.

If it was the red corvette, then I took cues from his thread.
