Default New Mods for my 2008....

Hi all,


I added some new mods to my 2008 Coupe. Some I created and did myself because they are not available for sale. Others I purchased. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks..

Steve

My painted Calipers:



C6 Logo for A6 Shift handle (Done myself with my printer)



Driver Side Armrest (DSV)




Oil dipstick painted (Done myself with paint bought at Pep Boys)



LS3 (436HP) Fender Badge (Done by Austin) Unfortunately, alot of people ask me what a L53 means





Driver Side FRC




Storage Bag (West Coast Vettes)


Center Cap Chrome Piece (Replaces painted on Gumby Polished Wheel) From Gene at Corvette Parts




LS3 Engine ID Plate (Created by me on my Computer,because GM won't make it)..


Two-Tone Hand Brake Handle- Matches my inside (DSV)

How much did it cost to convert to the L-53 engine? I hear they got gobs of torque. Will the trans hold up?

Now you just have to get rid of the fake leather shift and E-brake boots.

The DSV boots will make a major difference inside.

I recently switched to DSV's handles and boots and the boots are definitely first-rate.

Can I see pics of your seats. They appear to have ebony on edges and cashmere in center, correct? Where did you get them? Are those factory or aftermarket?

Those are the stock factory seats that come with the two-tone interior cashmer/ebony.... That is correct, ebony edges; cashmer in center.
