That 'see-thru' thermostat housing is OK. But, can't you find any matching antifreeze to go with that burnt orange paint????

I think those t stat housings are pretty cool, but they are kinda pricey at almost $150!

The custom sill plates are a nice touch, I also had some custom sill plates made:

Wait- your Vette isn't stock, is it??? I'll bet when the NCRS crowd looks at it, they tremble like a Poodle passing a razor blade. Very nicely done!

Your complete package looks fantastic! I have seen those sills in a catalogue before and had wondered how they would look in our vettes. You definitely answered my question - stunning they really add a nice clean touch of class.
