Absolutely true, and the wife agrees...but I overruled on this one

I'm going pretty subtle with the CF, I also plan on doing the the Spats and that's it. I was very much on the fence to do the hood, but opted against it as I could always add it later (Caravaggio's Z Rise Hood)

Aero, roof, and Spats...should be subtle but exotic at the same time

Also what I like, the CF isn't very noticeable until you get close to the car. Check out some of Mordeth's car pictures, it looks Carbon Flash from the distance, then you get up close and blown away

Larry, I'm very happy for you and your new ride.


Please note that according to Forum rules, which I'm sure you read VERY thoroughly, it's against the rules to start the same thread in 2 different areas of the Ct Community (C7 General and C7 ZO6). I've merged your 2 threads together.


Cheers......

Caravaggio is top notch. John's work is pure art and you made the right choice. And Arctic White is an amazing color on a C7Z....although I may be a bit biased. I never once owned or even considered a white car, until I saw a C7Z in AW with black trim. Simply a gorgeous car and it stands out in a crowd. Even now, I get people pulling up next to me taking pictures, waving, thumbs-up etc.

Now the wait begins....it is pure agony. Keep us posted.

It's going to be long wait, I have built in relief points. Last week I received my Pinnacle Black Label kit, within a few weeks I'll have my splitter and skirts, in about 2 weeks I'll have the rest of my detailing products, on Feb 12th the wife and I are going to Atlantic City so of course I'm stopping by Kerbeck...and of course you've given me some work

It is approximately day 0 as I wait for my official order #...I don't know if I can make it...I thought I had the appropriate pieces in place to make it to delivery but I'm already getting the jitters
