I was going to accept the Stingray Grill as I had 'Deleted' the Chrome Styling Strip with Black Plasti-Dip, but I kept going back to the Z06 Grill with the Brake Scoops either side ...its far nicer all together and those Scoops marry to those on my Z51 without modification .... So I had the car to Keith at Premier Bodyworks Wallis Rd Mboro hes done work for me in the past and has been Excellent. I had him Spray the Carbon Flash Black Stinger Stripe on the Hood and remove the wing mirrors...split them and Spray them 'Red' as a Homage to the C7-R Race Car and currently have Decals coming from all over the S]how ... There's a Guy on the US Forums with a Convertible in the full Livery ...looks Superb! [I put the C7 Grill on Ebay and it Sold]



As I'd gone this far I sent for the Z06 Style Wheels in the Z51 Sizes 20" and 19" and had the Tyres and TPMS swopped onto these New Wheels ...I Love the Look of them [ Again I put the Wheels on EBay and Sold them I had Sold the Z51 Spoiler to the same Guy ...it just was meant to be for him]





I liked the look of the RPi ACS Rear Diffusers with the 4 Blades so had those sent and I fitted them [pictures poor to be able to see them on a Dull Misty day but they look Great with the Sun on them]







my 'Homage' to the C7 Racing Corvette is underway ....It may be one of a Kind when its done ....as McDonalds would say.... "I'm Loving it!"

Your right they are expensive lol 😂 but they do Add to the car ‘Bite the Bullet!’ Your cars worth it
I’m Very Envious (post some pics) .... I’ve had to create my own GS/Z06 alike Most of My Accessories came from RPi Design in the States you need a 7mm Ratchet Spanner with a Flexible Head
There’s a paper template supplied and a Good video on YouTube showing how it’s done (Search ... Fitting ACS Rear Valence Diffuser Fins .. Stingray Z06)
It’s Fiddly LH Side is OK .... there’s more Gubbins on the RH but still ‘Do-able’ has once you have it jacked up with Axle Stand Supports.
Will look Great on your Grand Sport what a Car!
