Yep. Upon visual inspection I notice that there's too much "redness" so a tone-down is in order. If you've notice that the MadArch wide body kit has an area near the Camero bow-tie wing is attached and is blocked off. #020 was a copy from the original opening from #015 chop top. I like this area for it allows for various tweaks and I'm going to use this area to blend in with the OEM rear tail lamp by painting black. Thus the vent leading backwards to the rear tail lamps will be black. I think this will had a bit of detail, aggressiveness and keep the tail lamp from jumping out at you.

The bottom area of the Camero bow-tie wing will be black also. Trends is going to sand down a minor line to separate the tow color (as if there's two parts). The base of the F360 will too be painted black and maybe the opening in & around the Audi/C6 fog lamp too. My goal is to break up some of the visual "redness" and by use of the HRE547 black center wheels the car will look OEM, but in a modern fashion.





I'm a bad dude when it comes to using green or yellow tape, hehe.




The base of the F360 mirror will be painted black (more OEM like). This will blend in with the sail window and were the soon to be painted vent area near the tail lamp.

Also, I forgot to mention this too:


The 350Z side vents were the flat area underneath the metal screen will be painted black too (. Although all of the screens will be painted black, I didn't want the red to "pop" from down under.

I just called the shop and they're applying the final coat of primer to the underbelly of the C6 flipper and are saying I should have results on Monday (which in laymen terms translates to another 2-3 more weeks). In total #020 has been in the shop nearly 5-months, but I'm okay with it since the project is moving (unlike the shop in TEH)

Some progress on the C6 flipper, but that's about it.



Mima cleaned my K&N filter.

This is looking so nice makes me want to go another 10 coats of paint too.

Don't change it. Your orange color looks good.

Trends has the C6 flipper on for last visuals. Pics coming.

That's the ticket! Leaving a vent allows for additional tweaking and adds some "pop" to the area.


Meanwhile, I was in Anaheim CA today. They fixed the two HRE outer lip plus re-chromed, painted centers, and total chrome on #020 wheel.





Meanwhile I was in Bakersfield CA today. It was perhaps the most important day because I needed to inspect the C6 flipper before it's painted. I had a few tweaks, so I got right too it, but before that here are the results of the modification of the side vents leading from the Corvette fog lamps.

Okay, I thought it would be best to allow for a slight carved out line to separate the main section of the nose from the fog/driving lamp divider. Therefore tape was in order.





Also, I had part of the area where it traced the windshield removed and to round down the sharp edges.





If you notice that the triangular is somewhat smoothed down and let obvious. Similar to the Lotus I seen in the showroom many years ago.
