First Mod to my C7
Just added a carbon fiber plenum cover, along with color matched FRC's from RPI.

Do not plan to at this time. I like the current carbon flake metallic look that is on the back of the C7.

I dunno, it really doesn't do much for me with the yellow.

That's the kinda stuff I would file under rice, but that's the beauty of a free market - to each their own.

Thanks!

I've said from the beginning that I think all the Carbon Flash parts should be offered in body color.
So do you love it that way?

That kinda thing is nice for a show car, but I don't plan to show my car off with the hood up very often. Looks good, though.

Go for it! To each his own.
I'm interested in seeing a completely body colored Stingray in LB. I will reserve my judgement till then.
So far I really like the 'tear' in most cases. Looks bad-*** to me.
