The waiting for mods blues
I’ve finally got a free weekend & no mods to put on the Vette I’ve put my deposit in for a custom steering wheel from RFE Designs, waiting on some new tail lights from Vette Lights, outlining the next interior pieces I’ll be covering with leather from J-F-Customs...it’s a tough life for sure
Who else is waiting patiently for mods & what are you waiting on?

I am. Ebony and Cashmere door arm pads. Two tone center leather arm rest. Polished barrels of wheels and what ever else I can think of. Did you ever solve the problem with your mirror light LED’s ?

It's half of the fun! Currently waiting to install: New shift cable, carbon fiber hurricane intake and red radiator hoses. Currently waiting on suede wrapped radio bezel, hydro dipped shift and ebrake buttons, hydro dipped window switch bezels and machine silver and leather elbow savers. I really think that I have just as much enjoyment from modding as I do from driving the car.

Also just got some seatbelt color samples in the mail so will be deciding if I want to swap those out.

I like the one with the edges, but all would look awesome. Once I finish the needed stuff on my c4 (heater core) and the boat (What feels like everything), I want to start adding some toys to the c6. B pillar seems like a good place to start as it has a rattle in it, just havent decided on leather or alcantara. I dont know if JF customs alcantara matches the OEM stuff. Red seatbelts would be a nice touch, and fairly subtle.

J-F customs will send you some samples for ~$2. I’d request a sample of the alcantara to see if it matches. I’ll be ordering additional leather/orange stitching for the door panels, A pillars, B billar, halo, door sills, rear speakers, front headliner, & eventually the dash. Essentially everything plastic will be leather.

Got you all beat. Ordered the new C7 LED headlights from "Team Umnitza" September 12th and probably won't see them before the 15th. Z06 carbon hood currently at the B/S being painted. Won't be able to put it on until after headlight install. New carbon edition radio bezel should be here later in the week, maybe next weekend I can install that.

My headers, pulley, and other goodies are here, but my mechanic isn't available until December 7. Will be ordering an MGW shifter to hold me over.

Patiently waiting for a shaft seal for my Procharger. Car had a multitude of SC problems (belts, brackets, HB, tensioner), and I've fixed it all and it then immediately blew a shaft seal. UGH.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. It's supposed to be here tomorrow.

I think you have us all beat as that will never arrive. I'll be covering my dash with leather from J-F-Customs. It'll be the last interior piece I do, but will be done eventually - $300 & my elbow grease.
