I saw this beast last Tuesday and let me tell you all it looks gorgeous.

Thomas, congrats on a great looking vette. I can't wait to take it to both Burke and NLP to get mine done.

Hmmm . . . . lets see, 10 point deduction for mis-aligned wheel hubs . . . 10 points off for missing "GM" logo ( ).
50 points off for "Tacky camera-man reflection"

But seriously - you got one sweet ride! and I want that hood!

Shoulda bought a Z06 except love the A6 in a town with many hills and traffic lights, and love taking the top off.
I was going to say "Lose the Supercharged Sticker", but with all those mods, the concept of "Sleeper" went out the window.

BEAUTIFUL CAR!

May I respectfully suggest that your beautiful car could be futher improved with the addition of an Invisicord? From the above list, I will assume that another ten bucks or so won't break the bank. And that carbon fiber interior won't be compromized by a coiled cord!
