Thanks for the compliments!
All carbon parts are from Apsis. I believe they have the best quality parts out right now! Beautiful Carbon!

AWESOME ! TOTALLY AWESOME !

PS: Noticed you blacked out the side markers, looks like you used the acrylic stick on... does it stick out very much ? I purchased them and after seeing them, not sure if i want to put them on.

Really like the mods you've done so far, especially like the CF steering wheel centerpiece!

Your C7 is one-of-a-kind. You have done a lot of hard work.

Looks stunning. I especially like the look of the rear fascia. Your mod makes this C7 look extremely aggressive from the rear.

Be careful on that added HP.

Nice work. Very Nice.
