Couple more minor cosmetic upgrades done. Interior LED upgrade (mirror lts, footwell, glove box, and hatch). License plate LED upgrade. Lloyds floor mats. More parts set to arrive this coming week 
***I do have an issue though in regards to the LED lighting. The rear view mirror LEDs are never completely going out. They both stay on, albeit faintly, even when everything else is completely off. And it's just those two. The others are going out as they should. Is this a known issue?
(You can see what I'm referring to in the last picture. The driver's side is physically turned on (car completely off) and the passenger side as you can see is lit when it should be completely OFF. I had one on to show the contrast between one that's ON and one that's OFF)
Here is the response from JW Motoring:
"That does happen on some C6s. It's an issue with the BCM causing the leds to light up a bit when off. There are no issues with battery drain as long as the car is started often. If longer than 2 weeks I'd use a battery maintainer. Unfortunately there is no fix for it."
Well I wish I'd have at least known that up front. I'm wondering if I could wire in a resistor. Just enough of one to kill them all the way when they should be off. Even if it dimmed them a little when they were on it would be a big deal because those things are BRIGHT

Got the new ss side emblems installed this afternoon. Big thanks to MyLastCorvette (James). These things look great and are so much nicer than the stock side emblems.

Hydrocarbon dipped parts COMPLETE! 
I love love love the new look!!!!!!! This stuff is incredible. I also got the RPI carbon ZR1 side skirts installed. TOTALLY changes the look of the car. 
Oh, and I also installed a new MGW shifter as well. 1,000,000 times better than the stocker! All in all I am EXTREMELY happy with this latest round of mods. Perf. Corvettes hyrocarbon rear ZR1 spoiler will hopefully ship out soon. Been on order about a month now. I also have a American Hydrocarbon ZR1 front splitter that should be shipping by next Friday. That will finish off my exterior mods. Then it's on to the performance side of things. 600whp just isn't enough.....
