Had another gorgeous saturday. Took the top off and took it for a spin. Then I was going to give her the usual bath, but it is calling for rain tomorrow. So decided to paint the Corvette Logo on the rear. Thanks to RFP for the awesome detailed instructions. Was a bit nerve racking feeling initially, until things worked just as described. I used a small plastic level I had in place of the wood block. Now to get the nerve to do the one on the dash.
Where do you all get the wrap stuff? I was thinking of painting the spoiler, but wrapping it may be a nice option as well. Want to eventually have black skirting to match.
Much of a process? Is it removable without damaging the paint?

i used this stuff. VViViD High Gloss Black Carbon...
It was only a pain for me because the front spoiler had curves and the two air inlets. It peels right off I’m assuming it’s safe for the paint but I would do research to be sure.

This is the same stuff I used. I have used cheap vinyl and good vinyl and can tell you that the difference is huge. Don’t cheap out on the quality. And yes, it peels right off when you get tired of it.

Yeah this stuff was easy to work with. Last time I did vinyl was 2001-2002. When I did it then it was the wet method. This stuff you just heat up with a dryer and you can reposition as much as you want. Which was nice. It’s thick and stretches a lot too. Just remember it has a clear protective film on it that you peel off at the end.

I just recently got mine back from the shop....fixed the two main C6 issues 1st the shifter cable broke and left me stranded and then 2nd the fuel smell so I upgraded to a Z06 fuel pump then I had AMP give it a magical voodoo tune!!!
Just did oil change with Mobil1 and Wix filter.
Put on Centennial wheels (rears have NT05r drag radials).
Replaced rear axle nuts.
Amazingly, the Amazon $80 TPMS worked perfectly along with the $15 ebay sensor relearn tool.
I’m getting too old for this crap. I’m beat.
It's been a busy time for projects over the winter hibernation for me.
Constructed a rear partition and hatch cover for sound insulation purposes.
Changed the oil Mobil 1 and filter in March.
Purchased new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and got them installed and balanced. I had to get 1 new TPM sensor to replace a 2 years old sensor that failed.
Painted my brake calipers from the existing Red to Yellow to match my exterior color. ( no pic yet)
On April 1, got the 2019 tags for the upcoming running season.
Here it sits, waiting for the nicer weather.

Same here. You cant beat the prices and the quality is awesome.

Partition looks very nice. Any more pictures and details? Thanks Tim. Love the yellow I have the same 2008 velocity yellow.
I just finished replacing the center section of the front air deflector, I am leaving the side pieces off for now. I have seen some comments about it being hard to do but I didn't think it was too bad. My old one was beat to hell and I was tired of looking at it.
