Love the red corvette letters on the rear, goes awesome on your car. I really want the stingray door sills, I gotta spring for that mod.

Clean your tires, tire gloss optional but matte clean look is a must with the black wheels....

Very nice. The stripes and accents break up the all one color nicely. Just curious, I'm sure it has been covered in other threads but, assuming you removed the "Corvette" letters on the rear to paint them, are there "indents" in the rear facia for the letters, similar to the crossed flags?
