Why do you have to be careful w/their colors? I had a lot of their red leather goods in my old C6 & also in my current Speed6. All matches. If you mean something that matches a C6 body color, then no you most likely won't find that at Redline unless you talk to them directly about a custom order.

I'm guessing yours is tintcoat just like my jetstream blue. I think crystal red jetstream blue and atomic orange were the only tintcoat colors which are hard to replicate. Either way i want placing to do car color in the interior. Mostly trying to keep it original as possible. Interior wise
I knew my armrest orange would not match AO. A color match on that was not worth $200+ more to me

Hey y'all,
So I've been looking at various mods and putting a little cash into my car, but... do you ever feel like they're gouging us for being Corvette owners?
I feel like a good example is this -
http://shop.aprperformance.com/index...&product_id=87
It's a CF Spoiler, super simple, small, easy to install. I feel $200-300 would be comfortable, but $800?
For comparison, an entire HUD unit with switches and harness is only $450. (+install of course, but you can judge how much your time is worth.)
With all that said, do you guys have a 1-stop-shop for all your gear? Feel free to share links! I'll pay what I have to, but I feel like the things I Google aren't favoring my results, just hating on my wallet haha
Thanks! (I'm on an allowance haha)

Sometimes the repetitive advertising here can be too much, but you get a Lil blind to it after a while.....

wow I can't believe I read all of this.
To answer your question YES we get ripped every day on aftermarket Mods. ie: parts I buy for my Camaro might be $50 and the same part (made in china) would be $150, they rob us blind. If they lowered the price they would sell more, simple. Things I want if I cannot find a reasonable deal I make them myself. I was looking at chrome trim for the rear defuser and around the tail lights and I found them for around $120. I went to advance and bought the same trim in a roll for $16 and cut it myself. I don't mind paying for a service I just don't like feeling like I just got $@#*&^ and no one kissed me.

Yeah, let's review this if I may. After I called you out on $hitting on a solemn December 7th, Pearl Harbor dedication thread for America's dead, you decided to boast to everyone as if you're a victim... Hmm, okay.
Actually, ignore works both ways. For cowards like you, I get to call you out like the scared, dried up vagina you are and you just get to continue your life as clueless as you've always been.
