Excellent! Glad you found some and they will work out well to keep some oil mist out of that great engine bay!

Yeah! I can't wait to get my garage all squared away!!!

Yes! Looking forward to getting my hands on that beast again!

See you soon!

Been a while since a progress report.....check out these beauties (black leather, black suede inserts, Corvette script and stitching in blue to match my EB paint)....one week from now the interior will look drastically different.....also throwing on some CCW T10's on Monday (SP550's will be for sale)....wanted to go back to the polished look.....also looking to add a rear lip spoiler.

All the best,

Michael

Can't wait to see the new mods! Although the black looks good....something about some polished CCW's that's tough beat!

The new seat covers should look great. I like your Black SP550's a lot but if you want polished, CCW T10's are the way to go.

That is one sweet ride! Just a guess, but you must have more into mods than the initial price of the car! That electron blue on a vert is absolutely gorgeous.

Some eye candy of the new interior going in this week...can't wait....just need the seats and center console to arrive. Mike (Mike98SilVert) is also going to stop by to lend a hand with the install...should be fun!

All leather on top....alcantara suede on the bottom....accent blue stitching.

All the best,

Michael

Some crappy iPhone pics from yesterday evening....NastyZ06 helped with the install of the new to me CCW T10's w/ Conti Sport 3 tires (275/30/19 and 305/30/19 (Thanks Furisome)....we kept the black lug nuts....I like the slight contrast....we adjusted the ride height as well....love how things turned out!! I have a SLP style rear spoiler coming from RPI Designs....wondering if I should install it or not...sometimes I like the look without...sometimes I think the rear is missing something...thoughts?

All the best,

Michael

Michael, I think the new rims look awesome and the ride height looks better. Like you, I have been debating on the SLP spoiler. Either way looks great but the spoiler does add a custom touch.

The interior pieces from Double D Mods look incredible.
