Default SG top off

Finally good weather to take the top off.. Check out my homemade solution to yellow the “Z” side marker to match the breaks ……

Looks great. I have the exact same color combo and have considered changing the color of the Z as well. What did you use?

I have considered changing it from red to SG as well.

Cant wait to pop my top

I used yellow vinyl in case I want to take it off later. I traced the z on paper. Taped it on vinyl and cut it to size and used a blade to trip (carefully) while on the side marker….. I felt like I was back in school doing an art project…… I think it looks good….

Looks great! Nice touch too on the Z...

Only if GM would allow a la carte options such as for colored interior stitching... like yellow, orange, etc.

I took it to Mingo at Sun Cap Tint here in Houston. He also did the entire front clear bra, hood, front quarter panels, all of the front and side carbon fiber trim, Roof and ceramic tinted my windows… Good guy and great service….

This is the best I can do as I am currently out of town. Will try to take a close up when I am back.

looks great with all the side-markers; rear 3rd brake-light; backup lites all smoked. Did same with my Laguna Blue, but also did tail lights, but left the white surrounding alone

Please do not post any more pictures of this car. I am trying to convince myself that I am happy with my '14 Z51!!!

you can color the stitching yourself with a Sharpie Stained Fabric Marker. I did mine on my 14 Stingray. Go onto the C7 forum and look under the DIY section.

Use something like the Edding 4600. I plan to make my White stitches Red in my Black interior with it.

Other than the yellow accents and mirrors we''re brothers.

I just sent a set of side markers/reflectors out to be tinted exactly the same way.

I'm also waiting to get my fender extensions back from the paint shop sanded and color-matched ... still not sure if it's look right but it's worth a try. Otherwise I'll have them painted again in carbon flash ... anything other than that textured plastic.

Can't wait to see the SG painted extensions. I imagine CF will look great but body color is ideal. Hope it works! Please post pics.

Cool. Do you have a picture of the tail lights. I like to see what this looks like...
