Default My trip to Corvettes at Carlisle - ACS install at show

My 11th consecutive year of going to Corvettes at Carlisle...
This was definitely the wettest year I can remember
But excluding the weather it's still a good time.








A few months ago I tried to connect with folks from ACS during the GM nationals, but wasn't able to. First thing I did when I arrived at Corvettes at Carlisle was find the ACS tent. finally got to meet Joseph face-to-face. Very nice folks, took my car right away. About an hour later I couldn't be happier with the results.

Before:


After:

I also got the same installed by ACS, on Friday and couldn't be any happier . They look great . I'm going to pass on a tip that Pat from American Hydrocarbon gave me on how to help protect the front splitter . He told me to buy black door guard and install on the splitter , it was so easy that I also added it on the rockers. It will help prevent scratches . If I scratch it I just need to replace the 9.00 door guard . Best , you can't even see that it's on the car .

I would be interested to see what you're talking about, where did you put the door guard?

I use clear xpel door edge guard on my front edge, works fine. Splitter has to be perfectly clean with alcohol first.

It's pretty much the same Glen did but used Xpel . I put along the edge of the whole splitter . In couple of days I can take a pic for you . I rent a garage and it's not so close or I would have taken a pic now . I bought the black door trim at Walmart . Look up custom accessories black door trim , serial # 97735W on the Walmart website. It's the same thing people use to put on the edge of there car door to protect it from scratches or dings

If you do your rockers buy 2 packages. I was short for one rocker. I need to buy one more. If your only using for splitter , one is more than enough

That's a great tip.
