sure you do, so how bought a little update...you had to have done atleast one thing you took a picture of...
and heres my favorite DIY
the day we brought it in the VetteBarn
Completely removed the interior, quarters, and trunk lid
Say goodbye to the Z06 hard top.
Ambra (the wifey) and Gary enjoying tearing my car apart
In order to complete this conversion you must remove the roll bar, mmm... a cutting wheel can take care of that.
All Done

Side and rear mesh.
Made my own mesh inserts, cut to shape, held in place with duct tape then glued with epoxy paste over the mash onto the bodywork.
Not exactly DIY but also fit the lower black cover from Corvette Enhancements and Led rear and side marker lights from same source.
