Bet you thought I was talking about performance. Nope, although she is pretty quick, I placed an order with Ecklers to complete the restoration of the interior of my baby, my how quickly the money goes.
Did all of that with the wifes approval, so when all is said and done, the entire interior will be brand new

Cant wait for the delivery truck.

Cheers all

Richard

Richard,

Where did you get your rear spoiler and which one is it. I've been thinking of adding one to mine as well.

I believe that it is just a 80 - 82 rear bumper cover, rather than an add on spoiler.

Thumper is right. That's just the rear from an '80 - '82 Vette. No spoiler.

I like it. And I meant the bumper cover with the spoiler. As my wife tells me, I don't always say what I mean.

Robin,

I really like the stripe. I'm thinking of adding the same thing to mine if I ever get it painted.

It looks okay with the 80 - 82 bumper, but I personally prefer the "waterfall" bumper that was stock for our mid-C3 Vettes. It just looks smooth and aerodynamic to me.

well thank you all, the brake light is from a C-4. the stripe was painted half in half out of the garage! it's done with spray cans of white. then clear over it all.finished with a 1/8th tape red stripe.

I think the 80-82 bumpers look way better then the "waterfall" version. The early one with the little lip looks cool to. but thats just me.

I also don't like the "Corvette" lettering on the 80 - 82 ones. Doesn't look tough to me.

Oh yeah the brake light is really cool! After seeing that I may do it the same way instead of putting it in the bottom of rear window.
