Really nice mods!

On the diffuser paint mod, does anyone here know if the same effect can be created using a vinyl wrap?

Specifically interested in any wraps that match the corvette racing yellow paint and finish.

You have been busy, your Vette looks great. Some of your future mods will definitely turn your beauty into a beast. Enjoy it.

Okay, either you have a side skirt on the driver's side and none on the other, or one photo is older....
