And no... you can't buy that hood anywhere... Its a 1 OFF piece... probably the MOST expensive hood you can buy for a Corvette (thanks to labor)... HAHA

Fiberglass is amazing stuff!

Louis, good call on the final wheel choice. Love the color, and I really like the glassed in bumpers. Hood is cool, I'm not a big fan of removing the hide away headlites....vette need to be stealth during the day......hope you do surprise me.

Great job for a young dude takin on one of the "Old Guys Rule" cars.

Keep postin man!

I'm sure one of the moderators is guna turn em into a link for you.

[QUOTE=jp75vette]What is the "top Secret"?[/QUOTE]

wouldn't that defeat the point?

lol

Ive been keeping it a secret for awhile now. If you been on the forums awhile and know me, then its been a secret for a while. I love the wheels, the gray just looked so much more awesome in person! lol. While I am a young man in age, I am a old man in heart, soul and brain. The last of a non rice rocket breed. haha
