The body panels have been perfectly fitted and painted in a flawless House of Kolors Custom Red base coat, with pearl white side coves, giving it a unique and striking presence. The car also features a Rhino liner for added protection to the inner wheel wells, and a custom rear Corvette emblem has been converted into a third brake light and backup light, adding both style and functionality.
