One suggestion....I would go with a matte finish. Seems like you may really end up battling glare from the sun with the gloss.

Thanks guys!

I surprisingly dont get any glare from it when driving. It was definitely a concern when i started painting it. I found it easier to paint rather than putting my material wrapping skills to the test.

Kudos!
Awesome for $100.

$500 and not come close? You can buy an Autometer dual gauge pod for about $65. DSVettes covered mine in leather.

Great work!! Very professional. Yes, a great corvette mod, but open up to cameros, mustangs, etc. and really make a good buck. Just sayin
