Wow, hows that for action? Stu posts 30 minutes before me with a 2016 car as well!
Been wanting to do one of the Chevy RC cars with the updated front wing released at Indy, but was struggling with how I would create the sidepod/rear pod flip-ups. Luckily, Power won at Road America where they didn't run those. Problem solved!
Using TS-17 Gloss Aluminum for the color, looks good so far, however, I know clearcoating tends to really mute this color.
Added styrene flip-ups to the rear pods
Styrene strip to the rear cowl, as added late 2015 to the Chevys.
3D printed goodies in the manner of the Rear Endplates, along with Front wing & flaps. Rear Bumper is printed too, but no photos available yet.

Was just noticing the nice sharp edges and smooth surfaces on the flat pieces and thought those might not be 3d printed.
