Always been a fan of your car! Looks great! Now a splitter would top it...maybe some side skirts too. LOL

Hey fella... Hope all is well with you! Thanks for the love. You know I would love a front splitter so bad but if I did one I just think I would have to do like Kevin Dixon,, his setup is sweet I think. It's like an all inclusive sandal resort... Being one piece.. What do you think?

Everything is great! Thanks, hope all is well with you too. Definitely think that an all in one splitter would complete your Vette. Can't beat all inclusive! LOL

I love the rims and that front splitter would be the cherry to top off an awesome car.

As far as I'm concerned this is all his fault. He's the reason I keep an envelope stuffed with $100s hidden in my garage. Gotta have instant access to mod money. Like he told me, you gotta always have your irons in the fire!!

That's hilarious.. He's a mover and a shaker for sure. I don't think he realizes the pressure he puts on his friends. I guess I can always call you for support

I've got some extra power I can't use in 1st or 2nd gear, so I'll send it your way.

I'd say black, unless you are planning to add more exterior carbon in the future like a splitter, side skirts, etc.

I ain't to proud ta beg Bill

The only carbon fiber I have is the hood and rear spoiler. Both of which only have a smidge exposed. So yeah I just can't decide if the rear brake ducts and rear splash guards would look good or not. If I didn't have so much black I guess it might be easier

I actually didn't realize you had those, I just looked closer at your pics and noticed that. What you did the rear spoiler is very cool! That's the problem with using an iPhone to look at this stuff. In that case, they will probably look good in carbon, at least the splash guards. The brake ducts are tough, you have to get the real replacement ones and not those covers I see at car shows with the hug gaps. I also think there is a way to install the covers, but install them flush by actually replacing the outer part of the ducts, remember seeing a post about that once.
