Default C8 in Miami?

While we continue to develop new products for the C8 we would like to extend an invitation to anyone in the Miami/Homestead area to come by the shop so we can test fit new products. Let me know.

Great hearing from you guys. We welcome visits. As to my question for a C8 in Miami, anyone have their car now? We need a C8 to come by to fit some parts and you might get to keep them at a big discount.

Might get to keep at a big discount? How about will absolutely keep complimentary. No offense, but we would be going out of our way to do you a favor.

Really? They make an offer of a discount so that it is a win-win situation and you only see it as a one way deal?

People - you can disagree without resorting to attacking the person. It stops now or sanctions will result.

We just launched our own design of the Engine Appearance Package. If I can get someone to come by for a photo shoot we will install a set of these at no charge. Only ONE person needs to reply. Someone with one of our engine covers is preferred but not required.

My car is Elkhart lake blue. I don’t have one of your engine covers but was going to ask if you can do one with an American flag through it

DING DING we have our tester! To do the American Flag would involve our airbrush guy. We can discuss this. We also have a RWB theme one. I will PM you the address.
Now if anyone in the area has one of our painted C8 engine covers and would like to participate let me know. as I still need R&D cars.

This one is a sampling of airbrush.

A good alternative is this one.



Or these....
