Man, you guys are a hoot!
I'm 71, have zero complaints re getting in and out of the car. I'm not a clean fanatic. I park the car wherever there's a space....
I've got 600K miles in Corvettes in the past 23 years. Daily drivers all.
I resolved the seat bottom problem for $65 at a custom trim shop.
For heaven's sake, these are cars, not some kind of holy relic or exotic being or entity... they're massed produced production-line things that are replaceable...
People drive MBs, BMWs, Audis, Jags, etc.... and treat them like cars....not fretting whether the neighbor's car passes gas near their well-shined fenders or spotless wheels...
I've got 102,000 on this car, looking forward to the next 100K miles....
Leaving on a 5,000 miles road trip February 1. Will park it in hotel parking lots, Costco, Walmart.... wherever...
Oh, and if I spot you along the way, no matter what generation Vette you're in - no matter how far out at the end of the universe you've parked I'll wave!

Melting Slicks
the cringe of hearing gravel bounce off the sides and always checking for chips
parking as far away for the door dingers I always deal with in my beater car
spending money on mods and debating whether it should be spent on something else
the other C6 guys who say Carlisle Blue is another color on the gay rainbow
I would miss the grin I have every time I look at and drive it...

Safety Car
Unless I missed it I can't believe I haven't read the dreaded chin scrape, especially if you have the carbon splitter! P.S. mine is flawless and it does take focus to keep it that way!

Kit includes great instructions. But if you're still worried about the install, watch ~7 minutes of this video:
