Just thought I would brag a little.

Check out the huge exhaust from Billy Boat (B&B)
Notice the rear panel is C/F also.
Lowered 1 inch.
Tinted windows

Your car looks awesome!!! 
Big fan of the CF here. Engine compartment is beautiful. I am particularly interested in the CF diffuser. Who did you purchase that from, is it an overlay or complete replacement, and if it is a complete replacement how difficult was the install (mounting points, back-up lights, etc.)??????

Great looking car.
How do you like the B&B exhaust? How does it compare in sound with the stock exhaust? Any drone?

Great looking ride (love the color) and I can't disagree with the "braggin". But what comes to mind is the question, if this is all about braggin, why have mods that void the factory warranty?
The only reason I have a ZR1 is braggin rights and I've said that here on the forum many times - there isn't much difference between the Z06 and the ZR1 in terms of street use and you can't use half the throttle of either one, at least not in 1st or 2nd. But like the bosslady said when we were looking, "if you don't get the ZR1, you'll be kicking yourself in the *** forever". The ZR1 is a king of the supercars in it's own right - I mean it's the highest HP rated production vehicle ever produced by GM and maybe by any US company???
So what do you get that you didn't have stock? Just trying to understand the thought process.

Mostly just appearance / cosmetic mods and that's fine IMHO. The wide variety of aftermarket options allow us to make it 'our' car. I'm even OK with the tail light grills. There are no 'ugly' Corvettes (OK there have been an exception or two posted here
) just cars modded like I might mod my own and cars with mods that I wouldn't put on my personal car.

Don't think anything he's done would void the warranty. The only mechanical change that I see is the rear portion of the exhaust.

- I'm sure I confused two threads and at the begining of the other, you know where the list of mods begins, I recall seeing "750HP". Don't think you can get to 750 without voiding the warranty...
