Default Time for some dress up work

So I decided it was time to clean up the Exterior and Interior of the Corvette hoping to have it done by the end of October for the Car Show for Cancer this year.

Plans include:
Satin Black Paint Job
Centennial Badges
Recaro Suede Black Seats
C5 Deep Dish Matte Black Rims
Embroidered Floor Matts
Some small interior item clean up (I have a WTB Thread)

So far I have ordered or already bought the following:
Centennial C6 Badges (Ordered and have Arrived OEM Badges)

I am going to have to work with a heat gun lightly to give the front one the slight bend it will need. The rear will not be an issue.


Evo 8 Recaro Suede Black Seats (Installed and loving them)

That was from the initial install mockup. I have to say I love these seats!


C5 Deep Dish 17x9.5 18x10.5 Matt Black Rims with Rivets (Ordered hoping they get here Tuesday, then I need to sell my Current C6 Zo6 Deep Dish Rims)



The Satin Black paint job was started since I was hit lightly in the rear. I am going to finish it up hopefully next weekend so the whole car is done.



Embroidered Floor Matts are here! They were Z06 ones but I got an excellent deal on them so I could not say no. I was going to do a different style but at this price I am more than happy!


Since I have pretty much finished building the car (With the Exception of 3.90 Gears for the rear and a small 100 shot install) it really was time to clean it up and get it really nice looking. Hopefully this will all pull together like what I have envisioned in my head.

Thanks, and they do look good but with the color change of the car something glossy comp. gray does not match. Plus the C5 Deep Dishes look really nice too esp. since they come in Matt Black.

I did not want to paint the C6 Z06 Deep Dish rims since they were already ready to go.
