It looks okay, I guess.
Could use more CF though...
And damn... I just noticed that little display and switched below the passenger side vent. That is pretty trick!

Thanks Rick-I need to get some "sunshine" pictures so you can see the Carbon Fiber weave better.

Here is the "missing piece" for the exterior Carbon Fiber. These outside front side vents were installed by swoosh and me today.
The reason I hadn't added these vents were because I thought that the quarter panels would have to be taken off. That couldn't happen because of my Carbon Fiber side skirts have double sided tape on them (along with screws that hold the skirts onto the rocker panel). Ironically, we had to pull back the quarter panel on the passenger side to access the bolts that hold the OEM vents in place.

Dry CF panels look awesome! I just finished working on a C7 GS interior. The vette has some pretty looking panels!

Thanks guys! These are real Carbon Fiber, not an overlay on the OEM parts too, which I was excited about.
Since my Stingray is a Z51, swoosh and I wound up pulling back the quarter panel at the bottom of the passenger's side. That's where the dry sump is, which posed a LOT of problems......

I think he means the red vertical stripes on the diffusers.
I think no.
It looks too "tacked on" to me. Besides, why would you want to stoop to Lambo or AM levels?

Steven you should get your rear wing changed to dry carbon as well. the Red and dark contrast will look good and make the rear of the car look wider.
for reference, this is how mine stands:

I agree with the poster above about doing the spoiler in dry carbon. If you go that route then I say do the stripes on the diffuser. If you keep the red spoiler then skip adding more red to the back.

Here....I've added all of them on the diffuser fins. They are easy to take off, if needed.
What do you think?
