The deciding factor for me was looking at my car from the side and front. The Carbon Flash was jarring to my eyes. In spite of what some Vendors say, “It’s far enough away it doesn’t show”, when I saw those black, rear brake ducts, merely inches from side skirts, Carbon Flash Hood Extractor literally touching VCF Hood Insert, and when my eyes followed roof line from VCF top back to a Carbon Flash Spoiler, I equated it to elementary coloring artwork. How many colors can I use out of my 64-Crayola box? Maybe I have a little too much OCD going on but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

When you start adding parts, I recommend TKO Performance. Their parts match GM factory, perfectly, IF you order GM weave and tint. They are truly manufactured in house by Nowicki Autosports—not resold from Mexico or China. They stand behind quality of their parts. My detailer/installer has been very impressed and told me he has never seen such quality. He hasn’t had to add fasteners, touch up, polish or anything.
I bought a VCF roof panel from TKO back when I owned my 14 Stingray. The piece itself was perfect all around, and it was packed to withstand the apocalypse. I highly recommend TKO for any of their stuff.

Well, then how do they explain NCM installing VCF front splitter with canards, and side skirts for delivery, not-to-mention they had to install a Carbon Flash Spoiler?
