Just for reference you do know the gap between the spoiler and bumper is there for aerodynamics and water channeling?

Paint job looks great nonetheless.

I hope you bring this to SoCal one of these days bro! I know it'll be nuts if you do the kind of work you did on your Camaro to it. Can't wait to see it all done!

Sorry for the late reply, it was in HRE's booth.

This was a huge gap between the bottom of 3rd brake lamp and bumper, it affects most C7's and a repair bulletin will be forthcoming. GM asked us how we corrected it at SEMA.
Thanks. It is the nicest paint job out of all the show and SEMA vehicles I have built over the last 20 years. This one turned out amazing.

My other one will be in Cali in a week, visiting a few manufactures, LOL, that car will be at SEMA next year. This car was purchased when my ordered car was delayed. This car is now for sale. I just took delivery of my ordered C7. This one is getting a full build like my Camaro.

The finish on this car was amazing, we enjoyed working on this car a great deal and were surprised how user friendly it is to work on.

Does Chevy have any plans in place so you don't get a paint job from the factory that doesn't look as good as the cheapest Honda?

Looks great

Pearl white should be a Corvette factory option for the C7... Love Arctic white, but its been on Corvettes for a long time... Be cool if GM would offer a great looking pearl white (NOT the yellowish caddy pearl) on the C7 for a couple years.
