Well, it's not up to me who joins this sub-section. I think that you can post here if you want to and see how it works out. Everyone is welcome IMO.

Here in Arizona, the license plates are changing colors, the flowers are blooming, the rattlesnakes are going into hibernation, and the top is still down!

After a lengthy stay at the body shop (I went partially off road and cracked the driver side fender, bumper cover and the headlamp, all my fault), I finally got my car back last Friday. It was there almost three months, waiting for a headlamp assembly, held up by the strike and an apparent inability of GM to get parts even after the strike ended. While waiting, I ordered the Apsis skirts, stage 2 front splitter and their one-piece fender flares all in carbon flash, which the body shop installed for me. What do you think?

Looks like the body shop did a good job on the repairs from the photos you shared. Blade Silver isn't easy to match. Glad it turned out well.

Yes, I talked to the painter for a while that day, and he has been proudly posting before,during and after photos of his work on his Facebook page. I suppose he has not worked on many Vettes. I have to take it back to tweak the alignment between the hood and the new fender with the bumper cover, but the paint looks good. The weather turned to snow and cold after I got it home, but I hope to get it done before Christmas.
