I like what OP has done. Everything looks great and I am certain it stands out above many other C7s in shows, and wherever other Corvettes gather.

But then the 'practical' voice in my ear says, 'Is this Corvette really a driver, or a show piece?' Well, of course that's a rhetorical question. But if I were to see this one in person at an event, I would certainly stop by to admire the work and effort put into it.

As Fluffy would say;


Man, that is a lot of carbon, and your car is truly slammed. You get my vote for moded C7 of the year.

How many pounds lighter are those seats compared to the stranded GT seats?

My son has something like that. But it they sit low and go way back because of the thinness of his seats and backs. They were custom made for the most part. He is 6'9" and it was the only way he could fit into the car and drive it comfortably. Looking good!
