They are stickers with reflective green vinyl... so if you take a pic with flash (day or night) they will light up pretty bright... its kinda cool. I looked into LEDs but getting them sealed into the door would been hard. And if I decided to take the stickers off, Id have holes in the doors.

Looks phenominal, very nicely done.

The only two things I'd change would be the silver center caps and the stock seats. Although I love the Jake headrests.

That looks pretty authentic. Nicely done. I bet people think there is an actual Corvette race car on the road when you drive it around.

How does the Vortech do on the track? Any heat soak issues? I'm assuming you track the car, considering the setup.

Where did you source the side skirts and the rear diffuser? I looked at the new one from BPP but theirs will only support a 2-tip catback, and I want to retain my BB Bullets! Appreciate any info - BTW your car looks spectacular!

I absolutely love this car!! I can only imagine the feeling you must have driving this thing around.

A katech 600ci would be perfect for that car!

It was my favorite part of building models as a kid... haha but the decals never cost a grand when I was young!
