Very nice, I particularly like the "dress up" components under the hood - tastefully done, not overdone !

thanks for all the compliments!

The Centennial Edition's came in a color called Carbon Flash Metalic, which is a black base coat with a metal flake that gives it a grey/greenish/blue tint depending on lighting. Only the Centennial Editions came with this color on the C6

That"s the C7 racing diffuser, right? You happy with it? I am about to order it to replace their regular carbon fiber one that I have on.

Yes, it's the C7 Carbon rear Race diffuser. Fit is nice, the only thing that I need to point out is that on the stock diffuser the reverse lights use lower mounting holes and they pivot in to the upper mounting screw locations. The C7 Carbon rear diffusers are rigid and don't flex, so the lower mounting holes are slotted and do not hold the bottom of the lights in place like the factory diffuser. You will have to use some type of glue or RTV to hold them in place. I used RTV and it's been holding up ok so far.

I had the Extended side skirts, but found that they don't work too well on a lowered Vette My replacement standard size side skirts are in route as I type. They didn't arrive in time for the car show this past weekend...

Customer Service at C7 Carbon is awesome

I had my buddy do carbon Hydropraphix on the engine and interior parts, as well as door handles and intake bezels. At first I only did the intake manifold cover and Fuel rail covers, but the engine bay didn't looked finished, so I ended up doing the air intake, radiatior support, and coolant overflow tank. I still need to paint the FRCs letters in Victory Red to help accent the other red on the car.

Akrapovic exhaust with 125mm tips. I had the tips ceramic coated satin black. I also had the ZR1 exhaust manifolds, cats, and mid pipes ceramic coated satin black.

Thanks for the tip. I would assume the regular carbon one they sell has a similar setup and the b/u lights have stayed in place for 3 years, I remember it was a little different than the stock one. Your car looks great.

Detail shots of the carbon hydrographix on door handle, brake intake, and hood intake. At shows most people can't tell difference between them and the real carbon side skirts . Really nice match!
