Nicely done, and definitely sets it apart from the other C8's.

yeah... i forgot there was junk in the background when i posted them. I was excited to get some pics. That’s a DD till they salt the roads. Beside it is a 12 911 4S that we dragged heads up with the vette. Vette won. When we get them on the track next year, I expect the vette will still hold its own. Chevy dun real good here.

The wing would really make it complete, and I’m not really a high wing fan.

Nice, I'm sure I'll see you around sometime. Who did your wrap/vinyl? Been looking for someone local to do my roof/stripes but not many companies around here I was confident with to do it.

Streamline Graphics in Tonawanda. They also did a woody wagon for me. Very conscientious. The wrap guys do this stuff in their sleep. They were recommended by my wrap maker in Toronto. There are 3M certified people everywhere.

If they come out with one, I would be tempted. Also thinking the wheels might need to go if I keep this on long enough!

Thanks I will look into them. It all depends on how much longer I'm keeping my current car.
