Grand Sport fender vent overlays
Does anyone have any experience with these? https://www.corvettemods.com/C7-Corv...r_p_18088.html
My question is, does the red bleed through at all? The pics make it look perfect but you never know.
Thanks!

They "USED TO BE" a vendor here. There is a reason they are no longer. Do your research in the Transactions Feedback Forum before you try do business with them.

You might want to hold off on ordering those until they have both sides available!
I had been in contact with them while they were in development and got the first set they shipped for my Grand Sport CE. (That's actually my car in the pic on their site with the Tension Blue overlay) Installed them on my passenger side and the fit was perfect and looked great. (They are solid vinyl, so no bleed through, to answer your question) I was pumped at how well they looked. Went to do the drivers side and it dawned on me that they sent me TWO sets of passenger side and none for the drivers side. Still not sure if it was an accident that I got two passenger sides, or if they just didn't realize the text on opposite sides of the car slanted the opposite direction. We've been in email communication and they have been friendly throughout and apologized, but nearly two weeks later, I still haven't received the correct decal for the driver's side. Last update on Friday said "next week".
It's kind of annoying/embarrassing right now having one side blue and one side still factory red, but since I got the first set out the door, I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. It is a nice product that I would recommend if and when both sides of the car are actually available. I'll come back and update this post if/when I receive the driver's side.

Oh well, you can't see both sides of the car at the same time anyway.
I don't really like the stuck on look of the body colored part of the fender vents... I would have to either buy the ones for the black car, or cover them with vinyl like these letters.
NOPE!
BETTER!

The trick is to spray the panel with soapy water before you place each letter. This allows you to move the vinyl around to get the placement just right without it sticking immediately. Then lightly push the water out with a finger to get rid of any excess water or air bubbles, and let it air dry the rest of the way. I let mine dry overnight to make sure. You wouldn't necessarily want to do this just before you plan to drive somewhere.

Wanted to come back and update this thread. I finally received the driver's side overlay decal from them today and the install went fine, so both sides of my car match again!
I know this vendor doesn't have a very good rep on the board, but so far as I know, they are the only one's who are selling these overlays at the moment. (correct me if I'm wrong!) In my case, they eventually took care of it, and threw a free t-shirt in the shipment to make up for the issue/delay. All's well that ends well.

I'm looking to do this exact same thing to my White GS. Can anyone tell me the part number or where to get the GS fend vents in black?
