Default Dream 2013 Grand Sport

Sold my 2008 Coupe to purchase this 2013 Grand Sport Coupe in Norman, OK for $44K. When I picked it up in April, the original owner had only put 4232 miles on it! The drive back to the East Coast was wonderful. It originally came with black wheels but they had to go for the chrome GS wheels. Additionally, I had the GS racing stripes installed (I know, some of you will not like this, but everyone is welcome to their own opinion), as well as an XPEL bra. Next is a Corsa exhaust.

Good move on changing the wheels to chrome. But you are correct that not everyone will like the stripes, me included. I am not a fan of racing stripes on a late model Corvette. However, had you opted for either black or dark grey stripes, perhaps it would look better. White stripes on that color car, especially with the glass roof, just doesn't look right in my opinion.

Very nice.

I would have put black stripes and kept the black wheels.
But you did it the important way.....your way.

ENJOY putting some miles on it.

Welcome to the GS club. One of the great thing about cars is that we each can personalize them to what we like. Your car looks great.
