color coded mods
Anyone give me a thread that will put me in touch with someone who is doing has color coded door handles for an 08, color coded license plates for front and back and a color coded third back light or spoiler. I'm wondering if they are already out there or if I have to get a paint shop to paint each one separetly. Thanks

I just painted my door handles yesterday. You can either buy the factory painted ones for $114 or buy a can of Duplicolor for $6 at Autozone and paint your own. they came out great..
Gene sells the painted parts at GMparts house...See his August specials in the Parts area

Many of the forum vendors have the plate frames and spoiler...they should be the same for the previous years as no body modifications have been done by GM....an easy thing to do is take the black door handles off and leave 'em off....looks muck sleeker that way....

Hopefully some of those vendors might let me know who they are.

If you don't want to paint them yourself call Bob at Fichtner Chevrolet a forum vendor. I got my painted fuel rail covers, door handles, Z06 spoiler and license plate frame from them. 1-800-234-5284 OR EMAIL him at bwendorff@fichtnerchevrolet.com
After that I started painting things myself.

Under the hood, I've pulled off and discarded most of the plastic trim. This improves air circulation, letting the engine run a little cooler, and lets you see the actual engine when you raise the hood, which I prefer to fake plastic covers.
Less is more. Lose weight and run cooler by removing extraneous plastic wherever you find it on the car.

The door handles, CHMSL and license plate frames for the '08 should be the same as 2005-2007 and are all available as "GCA" items - Genuine Corvette Accessories and can be viewed here:
http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/accessories/
You can purchase them from several forum vendors and dealers as well as any GM dealer.
