I really love the flat bottom steering wheel I have now, but the one with the Carbon Fiber insets was too good to pass up!

Honestly, I have a feeling if you could, you'd make yourself a carbon fiber pajama...with "SB" emblems all over it...

Update....more Carbon Fiber.

OK boys-here is the latest install.


This is REAL Carbon Fiber for the passenger door. This is the window switch (next to the door handle) plus the Lock/Unlock Button in front of the door handle.

And this is called the Waterfall. This is the semi-circle piece behind the arm rest. As you can see in the 2nd picture, the Waterfall extends forward under the center console (already done in Carbon Fiber).

The CF waterfall definitely helps to tie in the Vette logo between the seats. It doesn't look out of place anymore.

Thanks Ross and Tyler! The only other things I've got coming are the window switch plate for the driver's side door and the steering wheel. After that, I'm going to try and be done for a LONG while.....unless Anil has different plans.

I think Steven has done very very well with picking REAL CF for the car...interior and outside....the only wrap is, is to the key, which I approve off....


Looking SICK Steven....Meeks, I would love to, but I honestly dont see a sports car in my near future....gotta wait at least 4 years

Thank God.......






Honestly, I'm very happy with the way the Stingray is turning out. As Anil said, it looks aggressive, but still has that classiness to it.


I know a guy who owns a Laguna Blue C7 convertible. He just spent $5,000 (so he said) on blue LED's for all the outside vents.......yikes.

Seriously. You could light the outside vents for probably not even $20.

HUGE update!

Guys,

As you know, I've ordered a carbon fiber, flat bottom steering wheel a couple weeks ago. It was supposed to take 2 MONTHS to make.

I just got word this morning that it is almost done and will ship next week!!!!!!

Here is the wheel......

If its the same guy I'm thinking of, he also said that he has 6k RonJon wheels on his RL.

And yes, that guy IS the typical Corvette owner. Dont try to emulate him Steve or me and Anil will disown you

Matt, did the guy have a TL at some points as well?

I ran into a guy (over 2 years ago) at Lifetime Fitness with a RonJon body kit on the TL who said he spent 7-8K on the body kit...I -ed inside but did not put him out of his misery LOL....


I agree on the disowning part....Steven, as I was telling on via text, your interior looks fantastic, we just need to convince you on a drop, maybe wheels (since you sooo love these wheels) and when your warranty runs out, a procharger
