I'm looking into the hood stripe you added. Does that have a carbon flash look? If so, how well does it match the hood vent, and who did you purchase the stripe from? Thanks Bill

I thought I would start a new thread. "Before & After", mostly depicting exterior and/or interior mods.
Here is my "Before". I am standing next to my new C7, literally right off the truck (I had her transported from the originating dealer in Ohio to Camden, S.C. about 7 months ago)
Here she is after just a few exterior mods...
Lets see yours....!

Also sold the base wheel pkg. for $1102 on Ebay. So the whole upgrade was about $900. I am happy!

How about an interior upgrade!
Before......stinking black GM wheel with a Brownstone interior.
John Caravaggio to the rescue, doing what GM could have done in the first place.

I found the OEM Z51 wheels on Ebay. The wheels came off a '15 Corvette with only 50 miles on them. I got very lucky and won the auction at $764 including shipping. I then ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3's from Tire Rack at about a $1000 after a $70 rebate. Also bought the TPMS sensors for $130 and sensor nuts for $12. Mounting and balancing was $80. So, a little over $2000 for the wheels, tires and sensors with shipping, mounting and balancing.
Also sold the base wheel pkg. for $1102 on Ebay. So the whole upgrade was about $900. I am happy!

Here's my AW Coupe at the NCM on delivery day. Same day, 160 miles later, Ben@WeaponX forced me to start modding it:
lowered on stock bolts
Weapon X diffuser, splitter & side skirts
Kooks LTH
AfE intake
Weapon X ported TB
Forged 360 rims on Pilot Super Sports
Afterwards I realized I needed the WeaponX rear spoiler to match the rest of the CF on the car...
Last pic is the car resting comfortably in a dealership showroom for the winter
