Really nice mods!

On the diffuser paint mod, does anyone here know if the same effect can be created using a vinyl wrap?

Specifically interested in any wraps that match the corvette racing yellow paint and finish.

Okay, either you have a side skirt on the driver's side and none on the other, or one photo is older....
