Default Some recent mods

I wish I knew how to take better pictures. Here's some of a few recent mods I just did to my 2016 Stingray. I replaced the "carbon flash" stinger stripe with a "Carbon Fiber" stripe and added Z51 to it. This 3M vinyl looks really good.







Next I added a blackout strip to cover up the body color just being the removable top. The idea is to make it look like a solid stripe of black sorta like Tesla's.







Also added what I call "eye shadow" using the same 3M carbon fiber vinyl:




To make the black stripe on the top to pop out a little more I then had the removable top and A pillars painted body color:






All in all I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Thanks to Mike @ Vette Stripes who came through when others didn't seem to care. Good job!

Looks good!
I was standing in my garage yesterday, looking at the car, and thinking a little more black on the roof maybe.
