We need some videos of this beast Steven!
And the interior looks great. I'm glad you didn't get the CF bezel on the steering wheel. The silver steering wheel trim matches the other bits of silver trim and keeps the look unison.

I was thinking the same thing, Ross. Too much is too much-even if it's Carbon Fiber.

Thanks Austin!
I've worked hard to mod this Stingray aggressively but still very tasteful. I've got just a couple more very small things coming. For the most part, I'm now done modding. Just time to sit back and enjoy it........
........and take Swoosh for a ride.

Anil...next time adjust your shutter speed to sync up with the LED lights so they don't strobe when you record them.

I really do hope to be done-at least for a while. Look at this picture-see, to the left of the steering wheel, the flat black portion of the dash that is not Carbon Fiber. It is now-that piece came in Friday and was installed yesterday. It's been raining here all morning. So the Stingray is in the garage. Can't take pictures today.
Better floor mats are arriving Tuesday. I sold my GM aftermarket floor mats for $100!
The only other thing I was considering is a lower rear fascia done in Carbon Fiber with diffuser fins! I wrote to the company who makes it (I know the guy who owns the company). On their website, it showed this piece at $1,000. I got excited about pricing and asked if I could get a better price. He explained to me that his website defaults to the lowest priced item in that category. He makes a Composite lower rear fascia AND the Carbon Fiber fascia with the fins. So the one I wanted was $1,800.....not getting that piece.

Here.....
The weather broke and got a quick iPhone picture of the piece inside the dash (I have no idea what it's called.....)
As you know, small details mean a lot. So you'll notice that I've put carbon fiber at the end of the turn signal.

The Lloyd's floormats arrived today. They are MUCH thicker than the GM floormats.
You can see how thick they are here.....

Mats look great!! Not sure how I feel about the CF piece on that piece of the dash....I liked the black to give it some contrast...

Thank you KK! I've spoken with Swoosh and CLtotheTL. There is one more mod coming-HUGE mod coming.
I'll wait a month or so to order it. But it will really complete the look of this Stingray. THEN......I'm really done!

Hugh new mod??? Wow, can't wait to see what it is.
I am thinking rear carbon fiber panel at the minimum or something that whines from Lingenfelter.
Swoosh and CLtotheTL32 great job on assisting Steven, someone has to help him lighten the load.
