I thought about that as well but there weren't any lines that would give you a good premis to follow. That's why I went this route. I do like the idea though

That looks good! I really like the back how you left some of the black for the detail. Good job!

very nice, shows a lot of planning....some will think it's OCD, but I'd black out the lisc plate bolts, just adds more professional look.

Honestly that is a no-brainer and so easy. Car looks great, but those 2 bolts stand out like a sore thumb.

Or perhaps the opposite; carry the white down the roof rails?

It looks great. Is the white on the back bumper a wrap or paint?

I suggest you polish your exhaust tips; that would help a lot.

I really, really like the diffuser. I can't figure out why the Corvette design team didn't do that stock.

Maybe. I need to photo shop some more ideas and see how everything looks

The whole thing is either Satin white pearl vinyl or gloss black vinyl

Im going to black exhaust tips in the next couple of days

Im going black, I appreciate the input

I know, it wouldn't have been that hard to do. We did it in full real carbon fiber and I couldn't be happier with how it came out!

I usually cringe when I read "mod" but that looks pretty good. Nice work.
