WOW looking pretty sharp! :)
I was just curious about the paint, is it just the pics (maybe just me) or is the ground effects a little different color?

Hey, next time that you see Chuck, tell him that I said "Hi". I have not been over to his shop for a few years. I used to go there monthly, years ago...

Looks good. What is your openion on the Vanacour's kit as far as quality, fit and finish before you painted it?

Looks sharp:cool:.
Just remember to not wax the new paint for three months. Try to keep it in the sun too. This will get it to match more. This is what the body shop told me to do for my hardtop. :yesnod:

Nice install. Maybe you need some wider meats on that car? For some reason they look too dainty for all that body work.
The rears look narrow.

VanaCorvette ground effects kit appeared to be just a good as the Greenwood kits. By buying the VanaCorvette kit I was able to save
about $500 to $600.
Yes, paint is not exact match. I will have the whole car painted later.
And yes I think maybe later wider tires on the back, not sure
if I need to buy new rims or wheel adapters.
