love almost everything about your C8, especially the engine bay, but those seat, steering wheel, seat belt and sill protectors gotta go. Sorry.

Nailed it!!! Don't you love it when a plan comes together? As someone said earlier, the contrast is what makes it look spectacular. Congrats on a beautiful and tasteful looking car.

Thanks! No need to apologize, I'm not trying to please anyone but myself so they've gotta stay.

I like those Verus Engineering dive planes but when I went to the site they don't have them for the C8. Are they universal?
