Hi... I recently decided to trade in my 370Z and finally fulfill my dream of owning a Corvette. It was a snowy January 31st in NJ and a local dealer had 2016 leftover sitting on their lot. So I thought, this would be a great opportunity to try and make a good deal. I was happy with the outcome.
Anyway, it is a base 1LT that had just two options - transparent roof and competition sport seats (with all the trim that comes along with it). I really liked both of those options and I knew I would catch the mod bug to overcome the things I wish the car had. So far I have only concentrated on those cosmetic items and I really am appreciative of all the great information I found in this forum. I think you will all recognize everything I have done so far:
Interior (Simple stuff):
Lloyds mats - C7 logo
Fabric overlays for the airbag warnings
Upper & lower cargo cover
Exterior:
Xpel on the front (not really a mod, but ya know)
Tinted rear 3 windows 20%
Blacked out the grill "retainer"
Changed to carbon flash emblems
Added reproduction machine face wheels (I know many love the all black look - its cool but not for me)
Added the front OEM "poverty" splitter
Added C7 Carbon GTX side skirts (carbon flash)
The OEM high-wing spoiler is on order, so that is the final cosmetic mod to be done. Beyond that, I will swap out the exhaust with one of the popular options, but I really want to hear them in person first. Oh.. I did add jacking pucks - they're gorgeous.
Basically, I wanted a slightly more aggressive look, but I don`t want to overdo it.
Anyway, since many of you were a big help to me without even knowing it, I thought I would share the results. The outdoor picture was from the dealer web site and the indoor picture was in my garage this morning.
Thanks everyone. I caught the mod bug when I bought a Wrangler (other vehicle). It's fun to do and there are many great ideas I can use from people here who have done it before me.
Yes, front license plates stink and the guess about a reflection of the garage door opener is right too. I'll get better pics when the weather finally gets nice again.
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
Looking good.
Cosmetic mods almost done!
