Gettysburg Cliff 2021 Z51, Accelerate Yellow, Sky Cool Gray/Strike Yellow 3LT Interior, High Wing, Splitter & Skirts, Edge Yellow Calipers, MRR M755 Wheelset, AYM painted engine covers, Front Lift and Magride. All visible options were available on the Corvette Visualizer at the time of allocation with the exception of the wheelset. Technically, this car is stock with many options; however, there are enough upgrades that I thought it was fair to enter in the modified category.

Congratulations, shiumai! I've added a tag showing you as the Modified C8 of the Year Winner for 2021. In January next year, you will compete with winners in all other generations for 2022 Corvetteforum Modified Corvette of the Year.
Much appreciated! I'm tickled! Thank you all again!
If I may take the opportunity to indulge myself here, I'd like to share some more of my fave photos I've taken - some of you might have already seen these before scattered around the forum. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I especially like this one above with the C6 in the background.
Congrats @shiumai Beautiful car and photo. Would like some pointers on both sometime.
Thank you, sir, and thanks to all who voted! They're all beautiful cars here, and great photos, so I'm honored and humbled. As C8 owners, we're all winners here.

Car looks fantastic; can I ask which front lip you have?
Shiumai,
Your Sebring Orange C8 is gorgeous and the photos are outstanding even against backdrops of urban graffiti, filthy freight trains and parking ramps. Amazing contrasts! I can't tell from your pictures, but what are the details of your interior?
I salute you.

Thank you! It's the 5VM-style lip from Extreme Online Store. Note that it's made of ABS plastic which cracks easily. I'd go for the ACS Composite one if I were to buy another for the durability. I added the pinstripe myself.

Thank you for the kind words! It's a 2LT with black/sky cool grey interior, and the two-tone seat option. Lovely yellow C8, by the way. That interior option looks amazing with the yellow accents on the seat bolsters.
