Way to go, Steve. I have come up with a name for the disease.... Carbon Fibrosis. The doc tells me it is very contagious and there is just one cure....

Unemployment!😁

Has anyone found the carbon film that is an exact or close enough match to the C7? I've done a few DIY dips and it isn't difficult, but nailing the exact pattern that GM uses based on online pictures is difficult.

The last 4D vinyl I used is perfect....it's all about the size of the weave. Will post pics later..

I also did the Crossed Flags on the tail, but decided to leave off the "Corvette" script. What's your opinion...."Corvette" script or no scripts?



I had a Pontiac Solstice and I took all the badging off it looked really pulchritudinous

You can never be too rich or too thin, or have too much CF.

Looks great, Steven!
