A few simple mods

Steven Bell has graciously offered to help me add a few accessories to the car! Got rid of that silly "retainer" look on the grill, splash guards, and locking lug nuts.

Thanks Steven!

Before

After

Steven's car is a bit lower than mine! We just needed a white one to make it a patriotic picture!

Have you considered using black lugs with the wheels? Nice job on the grill.

I have thought about that, but I'll concentrate on the under the hood next! Inspiration from Steve's mods!

Very simple mod. Put vinyl tape I got from online vendor. Makes a big difference! No more silly grin!

He's got a great set up, easy to get inspired after looking at his C7!

That's a sexy pair of C7's!

Great to meet you today, buddy. It was fun modding your Stingray.

It's funny how a small change like the black tape can make the car look meaner!

I used electrical tape and a credit card to push the edges into the slots on the top and bottom--looks pretty decent to me and cheap.
