Rick, Thanks for posting the results of your UHI Project. It appears that you did a great job with the installation. I trust that you found the instructions to be clear and precise.

For the other C5 and C6 enthusiasts....CAR Motorsports offers a full line of Custom Embroidered Underhood Insulators which are constructed to provide a seamlessly integrated look that will appear as newly installed for years to come. We offer the C5 Logo, C5 50th Logo, C5 Commemorative Logo, C6 Logo, and both the C5 and C6 Z06 Logos for placement below the respective main logos. We also offer the Corvette Word in the exact styles as it appears in the rear of both the C5 and C6. Best of all, we sell our Corvette Accessories for the same prices as we do similar items in the GM Family of vehicles; no Corvette tax. All orders are treated as Custom One Off Items, produced for you after the time of order. This is true of all of our Corvette Embroidered Products, no off the shelf Taiwan/China offerings here. Customer satisfaction and attention to detail are important subjects at CAR Motorsports. We look forward to providing you with a beautiful 4 foot by 5 foot change to your Corvette that will make you smile every time you open your hood.

Rich, I sent you guys an email about Canadian shipping...look forward to hearing back from you guys. Also, Rick said he put his "over" his existing pad? Do you guys provide the embroidery on a black felt that we glue to our existing underhood pads? Kind of like that option as it would save me shipping costs to Canada

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. The cloth is about 1/8 of an inch thick, so it very durable, but stretchable. A can of high temp glue is supplied, plenty for the application. Because of the special design, specialize stitching, and extra thread use, it was $310 for the kit. Rich has kits that start at about $200 plus shipping.

They will install it on a new liner if you don't want to do it yourself, but the cost is another $180 for the new liner, labor, and additional shipping costs. I chose to go with Rich and this style because I felt it would have better durability, eliminating the problem of the stock liner seperating and the stitching being more durable than paint.

Car Motorsports has a wide array of styles and colors for all Corvettes that have underhood liners. They also have other accessories that can be custom designed for your car.
