Default Lifetime NCM Member's Weapon7 carbon hood and aero kit installed!



Doug has owned several Corvettes throughout the years after his service for our country. He custom ordered his C7 and optioned it Blade Silver with red interior, the Z51 package, 3LT, micro fiber, CF dash, CF roof and clear roof, and the man Tadge even signed his hood! Doug not only opted for museum delivery, but also walked his C7 through the plant and managed to get all of the documentation from engine to tires and even had the photo book taken of his C7 being built! Not only was Doug's C7 from the Corvette birth state, but he was even lucky enough to get the Bluegrass state's "C7" license plate!

His beautiful Stingray won the NCM Bash car show the day before mine! When I unveiled my aero kit the next day, he had a chance to see it up close and in person when Tadge Juchter voted my C7 the car show winner the next day. I have to say with as much of a Corvette enthusiast and car show goer as he is, he and his wife loved it. He was my third full aero kit and he just had a chance to come up since the weather was nice and had the pros at Spade Kreations (SpadeMade - Livin' Kustom | Automotive Stylists) color match the hood and 3M paint protect the splitter and rockers.

Thanks for your service and your patronage Doug!

Awesome new pieces added to his car. I can see why he fell in love with that body kit.

Doug; Seriously one of the most beautiful and awesome C7's I have seen on this site. Very macho and stunning in every way!!!!! And lastly "thank you" for getting rid of that ugly silver bar in the front grille. As I have said to many "it just doesn't go" with the car. Take Care and enjoy your beautiful car.

Hi Ben
Is the front splitter an easy install and can it take high speeds? Say 140mph+? And it looks like the parts are on sale too!

Ben its a homerun. From CTS-V baller products to C7 great job. Wish someone would make a nice vent hood like that for my C5 trash. Killer!

The splitter reuses all OEM hardware for mounting and I added 2 sided tape along the front of the bolts as well. Mine has seen 150+ already without issue.
