Default Winter mod update

Just finished adding the holly red valve covers and finally added jake in the form of engine caps. The DSV tunnel drapes should ship on Monday along with the hydro carbon gauge bezel.

Such a simple change yet it changes the engine bay! They look great! Did you paint the stock coils?

Thank you! Yes, coils were painted. I wanted a little color without going over board. Very easy change for the price.

Looks great, I am not a fan of those cooler lids they hide the motor with.

The hydro carbon gauge bezel and the passenger ac vent surround finally arrived from performance corvettes. It was a long wait but really worth it as the pieces look incredible. Finally glued on the alcantara speedo pods from apsis and installed the whole thing. Very easy.

Also installed the Z06 sways. Painted the rear red for a little eye candy but it's a little hidden.

Everything looks great. Make sure you post when you get the drapes installed... and give us some shots of the whole interior if you can.

You and I have basically waiting on the same parts from the same vendors lol. I kept adding to my list of parts from performance corvettes and dsv.

Looks really good -

Now gotta find a way to hide the alternator! I had to do that on mine with a executive series cover!

I also really like the cool socks for the spark plug boots!

Thanks,Matt

I ordered the drapes, apsis steering wheel, every bezel in the interior and the center console base. I always get all my hydro stuff from Johnny.

I have everything but the console base and instrument bezel. I also ordered a hydrocarbon front splitter while I've been waiting.

Are you gonna pull the seats to install the drapes? I'm going to try the install w the seats in the car.

Agree completely. Alternator looks terrible.

That's going to look great. I am going to pull the seats bc I still have to install my drivers seat skin that I have been putting off. I'm thinking about getting the inside of the targa top done in alcantara with diamond stitch next. Finally found a local guy I am going to meet with.
