Finished my winter project
I last posted about my car in this thread
"How's your winter project coming"
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...ct-coming.html
I have since finished it and have it back on the road with the improved weather.
I added some red and blue 1/4" pinstriping to the black stripes and am going to paint them on soon.
Also went with some carbon fiber for the interior and a Windrestrictor .
In the trunk I added chrome hinges and struts and some stainless steel pieces around the perimeter.
The car is shiny and clean but came out a little flat on the exposure however it shows up the stripes well

I think it came out great 
I spent over 100 hrs on it over the winter plus there was the 100 hrs I put in before over the summer mostly on the stereo and interior.
I also got these 18/19" wheels which will be going on soon.
May get the Wilwood 14" big brakes later.

Very nicely done and good choice in the wheels.

The logo on the trunk liner came with it.

I have the RK Sport ones.
I like the smooth look.
They were less ridiculously expensive at 300.00 than some of the other ones for 400.00+
Had to cut the hole in the windshield washer cover for the cap
which was no big deal for handy me.
I guess they presume if you put a gallon of fluid in there it will last a long time, and undoing the screws to remove the cover to refill it only takes a minute.

they just didn't show up as well in the latest pics
but here they are although the exposure came out a bit funny.
They are Ford high heat engine paint.

I also added this Autozone available underhood LED lighting on a switch since my factory wire died.
