Default Got the strips on



I was going for a Red Grand Sport theme. It will have American Flags for fender hash marks. The front cover was still at paint. Please note the custom one of a kind vented hood to help with keeping the turbos and engine temps down, when Open Road racing at 200+(I hope). It has a rear spoiler and front air dam when in race trim.

I hope that hood serves a purpose because it's ugly as sin and breaks up the "sleekness" of the vette, IMO.. Not much on the front spoiler either..

Also would have not broken the stripe up on the vent, just sticks out like a sore thumb.

But it's your car, and looks like it all serves a purpose (road race) so power to you if you like it and it works..

It looks good, nice job and different.

I would not be to concerned about what others think as they are into looks more than function.

Is there something that would fill in the front license plate area?

Ragtop,
The licence plate cover was still at the paint shop. Thanks for the nice comments all. It is my car and I do like it to be a little different and other then the strips all the mods are for function also.
