Sanded my peeling and corroding barrels and painted em black;


Hinged screw covers and semi flush mounted/sealed;


Jake fender badge;


DIY Battery den cover, painted cowl and wiper arms;



Although not different by any stretch, custom leather interior. I did depart from the norm by having the Grey facing me instead of the black on the boots and *****/handles;

I am not worthy to be included in a thread asking for custom work, especially when GB Vette is involved. His Vette is SICK! But here is some of the things I have done.

Here's my modified Z06 partition. LeMans Blue leather, painted center section with the CE emblem.



Here's my modified trunk liner that reflects the model of my Z06.



And here's the work in progress on my Mod Blue Interior.

Hats off to you guys on some amazing mods. This is a much better thread than I thought it would have been. Just goes to show how ingenious so many of you are when it comes to your cars. Great job!

Man, I like that! Can it be tied in to your alarm system, or your fob unlock feature? That would be so cool when you unlock the car!

Here's a few of mine:

Hidden 75 amp power converter. I will never need jumper cables again. The power input is an IEC socket I mounted just above the license plate


Custom switchboard: for all my goodies



Intedrated 6-way massage motors in the seats:
