So you have seen the vette color. I have been toying with painting my valve covers the same color, or buy chrome or leave black (vortec).
So what is your opinion? I have a extra set so I painted them.

Hello 929 Nitro, It would have to be your own personal taste of what you like, but no one is going to see that unless you open the hood. Myself, I always was thinking if I was going to get some different valve covers they would be the aluminum corvette with the cross flag logo. Another idea you might like for the fender vents is the mesh grille, I had bought them before all the corvette places like corvette central, eklers and others that started selling them. It makes the car stand out.

Hey 929 Nitro, you might want to look at this,I am putting in my car now it is for 1968-1977 corvette. It is for the tach, speedo and center cluster. It is remote color change Led Gauge kit, you go to email [ inclusivelighting.com ] and when your there stroll down until you get to 1968 to 1977 corvettes and watch the video. Pretty cool stuff, ZAPPAREX

Very nice 75, I have owned 2 , 75. Your back end looks like the former owner replaced the spring with a cheap aftermarket. Car is sitting way to high in the back. Buy some lowering bolts from Vette Brake Products and get the rear back down. Car will handle alot better also.
