Nice job. Will at least do the filler cap as soon as the stickers arrive.

Black bbq spray, taped the edges. Matches perfect in person.

Just paint the Dexos out. I used yellow to match the dip stick.

The cap looks good with the sticker on there. Shouldn't be any reason for mistaking what oil to put in the car.

It does, actually. A dry-sump cap on the Stingray is the same as the LS3 wet sump, and the LS7. You can get a cap that says Mobil 1 from any dealer.

To get stickers send a e-mail to mobilproducts@ourdataworks.com and send this message / I am inquiring about the oil change reminder & other stickers I had heard others mentioning on the Corvette forum for Mobil 1 users, specifically owners of the C7 Stingray that comes from the factory filled with Mobil 1 with your name and address and they will send them to you.

I stated on the other post from Jake, that my stickers are larger than what he shows on his post. Either his stickers are smaller or he reduced them to fit.
