Have two new mods installed on the red beauty. Thanks to Mike Ung at corvettestripes for the black hood lines. Also installed the K&N intake.....sure feels like a 10hp gain, especially at high throttle.

I think those stripes are some of the best I've seen. They're sleek and subtle.

Does adding the K&N filter require retuning?

Does installing an aftermarket intake system void your warranty??

I like the stripes. I thought about them in the past, but I know I'll mess up the install.
