My Weekend DIY Mods
Thanks to the Corvette Forum's DIY section and all the members who posted, I spent the weekend completing some long over due mods. I did the Trunk Lid Liner, Cleaned up the Hoodliner, and did the Z06 Screened Front Licsense Plate Mod. These are all easy and painless jobs that I feel make the car look cleaner than ever.
Trunk lid liner
Cleaned up hoodliner
Z06 screened front licsense plate
I hope you like them and if you are thinking about doing any of these mods take a look at the DIY Section of the C5 Tech/Performance Forum

Gotta love DIY's. Nice job. Now you might want to paint the C-5 emblem on your hood liner to mach your trunk liner. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the
