I am undecided on the fins in red too.. I would probably leave the red on for a while to see if they "grow" on you. If not peel them off..
BTW I agree with sixsixfour, a rear wing in dry carbon would look good on your car..

Guys. Let's Fin-ish the derail and keep this on topic.
Steven, yes: you need a CF spoiler.

Yes on the CF spoiler, no on the red stripes. IMO they look tacky and like they weren't meant to be there.

Yesterday, I added a Ported Throttle Body to the Stingray. All I can say is WOW!!! The Corvette now feel like it's Turbocharged. At 2,500 RPM's the car leaps forward. Plus, throttle response at the accelerator is incredible.
If I'm adding up horsepower, I'm at about 520 hp. It came from the factory at 460 hp.

Buddy, it's good to hear from you-where have you been???? I looked at the Tony Mamo unit but chose one from WeaponX Motorsports. I know the owner of WeaponX, Ben Herndon and chose them because of our history together. Ben puts out a terrific product. I went with a known entity.
Brother, thank you very much! There is a local oval at the Kansas Speedway and a local 1/4 mile that is one hour away in Topeka. It's called Heartland Park.

Thanks Steven...
been a rough couple of months...just coming out of the dust now.
Glad you're well and modding!
I will look into WeaponX when the time is right...
I've been told it'll bump the throttle response up...that's probably my only real gripe is how hard you have to hit that peddle to get it to react.

LOL....actually I was the DJ all day long.
I know, I know....actually, it was my idea to have Modified Categories. This year, I added Best Interior, Best Exterior, Best Engine Bay, Best Paint, Best Presentation Mods. Before this, the entire judging was "Show & Shine".
I KNOW DUDE!!! How dare they give me a trophy that's NOT carbon Fiber!!!!
Thanks brother! And thanks to all of you for the "congrats". Since the Modified Category judging was new this year, we had 25 cars out of 100+ Corvettes enter the Modified Category judging. Since I was working (slaving over a hot microphone all day long), I never saw the judging process.

Here's pictures of my Stingray at the show....
Here is a picture of my buddy's car who traveled from Lawton, Oklahoma to Kansas City to be in the show. His car won 5 awards!!!! One of the trophies he won was Best in Show.
Here are pictures of our two cars together. His car is named "Tribute". It's in honor of the first Grand Sport from 1963. His is a 2017 Grand Sport in Admiral Blue with Velocity Yellow accents.

don't feel ashamed, Steven...I did something similar to put myself through college.
Great pics...your friend's is a bit much, but still nice. Yours is put together so well with the CF and red theme. Not a shock that you won!

Yea, his car is definitely an acquired taste, but it's quite the sight to see in person.
Thanks brother....they really make the car stand out from other Stingrays.
They have them in 3 finishes now!
