Default Fresh look for 12 base 1LT

Figured I'd share a little project we've been working on at LD Solutions. A good friend of mine picked up this 12 base 1lt car for a steal a few months ago. It had seen better days but he decided it could be brought back and I agreed to hop in and help. He scored a deal on a wide body kit and unfortunately the silvers didn't match so we decided we'd just wrap the whole car. Along with that we added ground effects from EOS, Spyder headlights, and some updated badges (the z06 badges had to go and we needed to replace it with something to cover the hole, we found some cool LSX badges that seemed to fit the bill). We also have a set of Infi-rays coming from Vette-Lights for it. The car is wrapped in Teck Wrap Light Blue Metallic (although the name really dosen't make sense as its white with a blue pearl) and the top is done in 3m Shadow Black, then ceramic coated with WrapFresh. We're super happy with the transformation and giving this thing a second lease on life. Let me know what you guys think! Not the best pics but they'll do for now. Plan to do a full shoot on it this weekend.

Thanks man! I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the roof in the shadow black, and I'm not sure the pics do it justice, but in person its a cool touch. Plus it hid how bad the top was (probably one of the worst ive ever seen) so win win there for sure!

Thanks man! Kinda, its like a textured camo pattern, wouldn't have been my first choice but seeing it all done I think it flows nice.

Love the pearl! The black looks almost like a cloth vert top in the pictures.

I told him if he changes his mind I'd redo that part no charge and just go to a satin black to match the rest of the trim. But I think he's pretty happy with it so I'll let it be for now.

Looks good. I think the C7 emblems are too big on the C6, but I'm assuming they were added because they're black/carbon flash.

I personally like the look of them better and he saw them on my car and wanted them. His do seem a little bigger than mine though not sure if its the color making them appear that way or the badge actually is larger. I think it gives the car a little more modern pop in the front. The back one on both cars was a pain, basically an hour of sitting there with a heat gun trying to massage it into the right contour for the rear bumper. Just trying something different though. That and its fun to watch the purist's heads melt over them
