Very nice GS; a real beauty. I really like what you've done with those, otherwise horrible, black wheels - it's a vast improvement !!

Welcome to the GS club.

I just don't know how you guys find the time to keep those black cars clean!

Congrats on the New GS! Hey Thought I would ask .. Is yours Manual or Auto? I ask because I just purchased my 2010 GS Manual with the dry-sump LS3 and found out the engines were hand built by 1 person and have a build plate on the front of the engine with the builders name on it. Just thought that was cool little tidbit of info. for ya if yours is a Stick!

Great call on your wheel DIY. It completely transforms the car into something even more special. I love it!

Yeah. Manual. I like black but I like the contrast somewhere in the wheel. Makes the lines of the wheel stand out. They turned out better than I hoped. Thanks again for all the kind words. The Grand Sport is such a great blend of the looks of the Z06 and everyday use of the standard coupe. Of course Id be lucky to have any vette but this one really hits all the check boxes for me.
