New goodies installed! GS fender stripes, rear lettering, Jake mats, and LED interior
Got some goodies from my awesome girlfriend and installed them all this morning! Once I get black wheels and a black ZR1 spoiler the fender stripes and the blackouts will all tie together nicely!! But until now I'm content and love the look. And yes, the stripes aren't for everyone on a base model but I love them and that's all that matters 
Auto mode was not doing its auto thing on my camera so this is as good as it gets. Plus I didn't have the patience to manually adjust it so whatever lol... It's a lot brighter in person and adds a very nice clean look to the interior (also trunk area).

Thanks!
I got them off of the *bay auction site (not sure I can list the name on the forum lol)... but CorvetteMods has them. That's where the fender stripes and LED lights came from as well. I'd definitely recommend CorvetteMods as they were quick with shipping, etc.

Nice additions, really like the stripes with the silver exterior and black vert top. Sets it off nicely.

Thanks everyone!! It's slowly coming together. Always a work in progress but that's part of the fun in owning a Vette. Idealy appearance-wise I want to do black wheels, black ZR1 spoiler, ZR1 style front splitter and side skirts and possibly the rear splash guards. But before all that I'll probably do longtubes and x pipe.

They are solid matte/flat black, no border. I think a gloss black border around it would've looked pretty sweet but I'm happy with these. Once I do the calipers red it'll tie into the LS3 emblem, I may do a small red outline around them then.

Thanks! The rears are the 5 piece kit from RPI. On my last set I had the GTS brand and they did not fit good at all. Also when the lights were on you could see the three pieces of velcro that held them on. These from RPI fit great and are held on with clear double sided tape. So lights on or off it looks good. As for the corners, the rear corners are covers but I used VHT on the front corners. The covers for the front don't fit worth a $hit and one broke as I was trying to heat/form it to the contours. So I sprayed three coats of VHT and 4 coats of clear and they match the rest great.
