I can’t tell that’s a rustoleum foam roller paint job. Now I’m tempted.

It still needs sanded and buffed, but it looks pretty good in the sun. All the flaws show up under the LED lights in the garage.

I really like what you did on the hood , the hood pins are cool too , this would be a good one for the bolt on flares and wide tires , there's a black satin Vette picture floating around the net with what looks like bolt-in flares and wide tires that looks mean as hell

Who did the seat covers? Those look great. I need to replace mine but I got to get mine done like yours ( if you don't mind).

I guess I wasn't clear that I installed the covers.

Car is done! Well, it's never REALLY done, but it is complete for the first time since I've owned it. Nothing left to do but just cruise and fine tune. I should probably replace the 12 year old tires...
Finished up the console/shifter plate. Did have some issues with the plate blocking connection with the bluetooth radio receiver I added.

Sponsor stickers.

Pace car spoilers added.

Congrats...Im surprised you went with satire sponsors. You can use the real stuff so long as you don't make money off of them or try an claim you are sponsored and try to get into races....Monster energy guy tried that...

It wasn't a fear of being sued, I just thought it was funny.

I did get a set of stickers with logos from the Cars movie, but I decided not to use the Rust-ez or Piston Cup stickers. Didn't want a Disney themed car.
