Stock up on blue painters tape and a roll of plastic...couple minutes to mask off and you'll be good to go. Not a big deal I suppose...

My open trailer is a 2010' Bri-Mar 18'. It has a very gentle approach for lowered cars but i still use boards for the corvette.

That's the Camaro hood vent, they come with rain trays you can remove. OP you should be able to just get them from GM, I have been contemplating on installing this vent too since I see so many c6's with them now. Looks good

Paint work is moving slow, im just doing a few panels at a time when im not busy working. Luckily the whole car comes apart except i believe the rockers/door jamb is glued in.
