Screw set from Corvette Mods. Some of the originals were NASTY. Before and after pics. I even had enough left over to do my gas cap.

Front insert domed letters. These are nice. The front insert piece is in bad shape all around the letters. Paint was flaking. This really helped.

Console padded cover. This looks great. Got it for 60 bucks on eBay. Easy to install.

I don't think I ever posted pics of the front turn signal black outs, front brake vent screens or fog light screens.

Good weather for the vette. They like the cold. Any time for lunch works for me. Just give me a ring and we will pick a meeting spot.

Waiting on my lake county detail pads to get here to finish up my detail job. Then I am going to take her out for a little spin down Grayson Hwy.

Lol nah. I shop for the best deals. I did the Seafoam treatment today. I've done it before on other cars so it's not new to me. I was hoping to smoke out the whole block. I started it up and nothing. No smoke at all. I was disappointed but I suppose that's a good thing. Hopefully it means the previous owners took exceptional care of it.

Those overlays were a piece of ****. Don't waste your money. Plasti dip the side markers. Took 20 mins, super easy and they look great. You can still see the light too.

I hated those overlays as well, I tried spray tinting them but that didn't work out to well. Didn't know you could see through plasti-dip.
