We got quite a few things done today, well more like over the last couple days. Smoked all the lights, added a carbon wing and carbon diffuser. Last week we had added the Corsa Xtreme with black tips.

Here is my NPP exhaust. A 3 hour job mainly had to wait between paint coats.
Never even took the exhaust off. Regards to painting, it's all about the prep. I have NEVER had any paint fade, dull or peel from exhaust tips. Exhaust tip temps on most cars typically go from 300F-500F at most.

Parts needed:
3M Scotch Pad $4
Black High Gloss High Temperature Spray Paint $6
Masking tape $4

tell you what that looks totally sweet! I have kicked it around as well but was thinking, maybe not... but that just may have cinched it for me.

Great job makes the car pop

Love the black tips, that is the direction I was planing on going, just did not want to have to swap out the exhaust. I like the way it sounds now, dont want it any louder. Looks great, way better than chrome.

It's a module that lets you:
1. Put the top and windows down & UP with the key FOB.
2. Lets you put the top up or down with a single press of the dash button
3. Will let you put the top and windows up or down even if you turn off the ignition.

A very slick piece of technology.

I spent the weekend attempting to remove the Stage 3 Aero package. Primarily the front carbon splitter so it won't drag the curb when leaving the driveway. Much to my dismay, the dements at the factory (or dealer) riveted the pieces to the car so I won't be removing it.

I guess my car is a true garage queen now. I don't want to break anything.

I added the 2015 Honda Fit EX mod to my 2016 Corvette Z51

The Fit is a nimble little car. This one has some nice tech and a 6sp manual:

So I drove to the store today!!!!

Normally, this would not be a big deal. But it's February and I live in Michigan. So basically this has happened twice since I got my first Corvette in 2008. The other time was 4 days ago, lets hope we have a mild March. I'd like to be cruising around this early in the year!

I installed a custom console lid (Gray & Black) that I purchased from a fellow forum member. It took a five minutes. Thanks Mike, it looks great and you were right it feel nice under my elbow.
