Thanks guys! I will leave some carbon fiber exposed on the scoops of the fenders. I like the tigershark fascias also, but other than the color, my favorite part of the project is actually the hood. Should be done within the next couple weeks. I will post pics.

I love that hood too. It looks like a snake that swallowed a rabbit.

Took longer to have painted than I originally expected. I rushed out and got these low light, pollen covered pics and will post better ones later. Overall, I am very happy with the finished product. By the way, it is not a factory Vette color.
