Default Latest Mod-Lashway

Thanks to Eric and team over at Lashway Motor sports for doing an amazing job on making my new front splitter. I had it made in Cyber Grey to match the paint on the car as well as the skirts. They do an amazing job of keeping you in the loop and more importantly packaging these for survival in shipping. Truly the easiest mod yet to get on my car, done in 30 min.

Car really looks great! I was beginning to feel like an outcast for insisting on skirts and splitter in matching body color...I think the C7 came with enough black accents from the factory. Were you able to get them that way from Lashway or did you have to get them painted??

Lashway will paint them to the exact color of the car, they have the GM color code for cyber gray. They look damn good!!!!

Thanks for sharing the side pic; I love the way it came out. I was never a fan of black skirts and black splitter but THIS I love!!

Can you PM me the price ?

I like all the mods you made including the red fish and red center caps. Nice touches.

I love it very much and a big thank you for not blinding me with that silver brace. I love your front grille in other words.

Great looking ride. Well done.

BTW...what did you do to the front grille to darken it? AKA...what did you use?

Thanks ....While I respect the opinions of my brothers on here at the end of the day...this baby is mine
I got the red calipers fir just that reason to add a splash of color in which to play off of. I did the caps in red and added the Red Stingray's on the sides. I then brought it around in the back by doing the vertical screens , "Corvette" lettering in Red as well. I did the perforated exhaust screen in Cyber Grey to balance out all of the Carbon Flash on he back and smoked the C7 Flags to play them down but going to C-Flash eventually. I have other touches in mind for more red color but I am still in development on them.

The cost of the splitter from Lashway includes your choice of color.
Thanks

Thanks for the compliment this project is a blast to work on it allows me to tinker and enjoy the fruits of my labor as well

Thanks for the longest time I had "the bar" in Red as well to bring the color around to the front but since went with the TKO product.
Concentrating on the Engine bay now. Installed the Elite Catch can but painted that Cyber Grey with Red inlets, came out nice.

thanks for the nice words...feel free to hit me up with any questions especially if you want to try any of it yourself that is why we are all on here !!!

Thanks ..love to say I used this or that special stuff to make the grill dark but it probably has a lot more to do with lighting and the fact that Cyber grey "inhales" light naturally. Just the TKO CF "Caps" on the middle bar and keeping the Carbon Flash surrounding elements of the grill nice and clean

Guys,


So you all know, there is a Multi-Quote Button here on CorvetteForum.com. It's the middle icon in the lower right hand corner of each post.

It allows you to answer more than one person in a single reply, just like this post above! It will make your life here a whole lot easier. Then you don't have to answer multiple people one by one.

Thanks.... I knew it would be a crap shoot on getting a "match" and no they are not a perfect match but darn close. I just wanted the mods to look as factory as possible.
