It's looks good, similar to the C7 Vert. I'm just a purest when it comes to Corvettes and like to keep them stock.

Looks good. I also have the carbon fiber waterfall surround. Waiting until I can find the part# to replace my silver center speaker cover to a stealth cover.

They make a cover for the top of the speaker that ties it all in IMO anyway. I got mine from Jagon.

I've checked and nobody seems to make an upper carbon fiber cover for the convertible. I'd like to do that as well as the waterfall. Anybody know of one?

I like your mod OP, I just think it's funny how carbon fiber is a weight saving mod but it's typically placed on top of whatever was there so it actually adds weight...

If those thin pieces of interior carbon fiber add 5lbs of weight, which they don’t even come close, then all ya gotta do is lose those pounds yourself. You’ll negate the weight you added to your interior and be healthier for it.

It weighs a couple ounces if that. What's the big deal.

It's not a big deal, I just think it's funny. That and the 50 other pieces carbon fiber some people add to every exposed thing on the car. Weight savings.... Lol.

I wish someone would turn the waterfall into useful storage. It’s a waste of space, IMO.

I got one from the same eBay seller and it's perfect for mods like this at a fraction of the price.

I'll be ordering another one for this mod.

I assume you gave it a little heat to flatten it out?
