Crappy Iphone pics but you get the idea. Hard to see the S2T paddles.

Plan on replacing all brushed aluminum with carbon fiber, did the drivers door already, the grab handle, center console and door buttons are pending completion but still want to add a bit more khalahari color as well. Hoping some vendors start offering some color pieces.
Had a chance to put more carbon fiber in







My sunset shot. I saw Caravaggio do this on their last Vette. Bought the vents and had them done the same.

Looks great! Another tempting upgrade. Where did you get yours? Did you do your own installing?

Sorry wasn't aware of not mentioning someone that is not a vendor here.

I had it installed by my dealership. Although every time I let people know who the technician is, it seems like I am bragging but I am fortunate to have Paul Koerner working there. Won't find a person more passionate or knowledgeable about Corvettes than him.
