That looks awesome! Did you just buy the GM carbon skirts and have them painted by a local shop?

@meflyfrc I love the Z06 Jake decal package on your car. I bought mine based on an exchange of posts with you a few days ago. I have an appointment to have mine installed at the Ceramic Pro shop (they have to remove the ceramic, install the decals, then redo the ceramic in that area). I'm hoping they look as good on a Rapid Blue C8 as they do on your Amplify Orange. I have the optional Stingray R (jake) stripe on the hood/frunk and like that a lot.

@MarkMeHopeful i am certain it will look good on your Rapid Blue C8. It really helps set off the black accents on the car. I’ve been to a couple cars and coffees, even one today, and gotten so many compliments on it. I am super happy I did it.

The window tint is too dark to see your date.

Amplify Orange C8 at Ron Fellows.

My own C8 is Torch Red, but I really liked the Amplify Orange car I got to drive at Ron Fellows. Looks even better in person than in pictures.

Got my damaged wheel replaced today, they wanted to charge me a core to keep my own wheel. Dealership damaged it. They ate the core charge. Wasn't going to pay for my own wheel. Amplify orange for C8 of the year. Maybe

yes, I left my Z51 spoiler with the painter, so they could get a perfect match. The GM recipe didn’t match so well.

Orange with body color trim here too, I will be doing the same for side skirts!

Thanks for the cool idea!
