My car will be white with red interior.
I will pull the torch lolyd mats out of my 13 GS which were in my torch C5, see how they fit in the C7, they fit well in the C6, take the black license frame off the C6 and use it on the C7, take the curb alert off the C6 to the C7, install the valentine and DONE!!!
I have a torch C7 in mind for 2016 and my days of mods are over.
Put $13K of mods into the C5...... enjoyed all that brought... car shows trophies etc........ but I'm driving the car.
Life is gOOD!!!!!!!!

Nope, GM made the change. On lights. That dates the car a little. If they can make something like that with a new twist I might go for it. Otherwise a body color rear section will be my only mod to the body until GM comes out with A Hi-Po version.
Unless somebody does something super cool. I don't do fiberglass bumpers though.

Adams Car Wash Shampoo followed by Adams Clay Bar, check for any problems in paint if needed Adams paint correction polish/Adams paint finishing polish. After that goes Opti Seal and then Adams Brilliant Glaze and finish it off with Americana Wax.
Dress the tires with Adams super VRT. Hand over to my wife and I will be done……..

It's going to a be a lightly used 2014 for me or an ordered new 2015 Stingray.
But when the time comes, because I live and die by the radar detector and I want to be able to leave the Coupe top off in parking lots outside, I intend to replace my trusty Passport 8500 with the built in passport system. Sensors front and rear, radar scrambling, the works. About $2200 for this mod but I plan to have this car for many years and police protection allows me to drive much faster than any 'mod' would ever permit.
Good quality metallic heat reflecting tint all around, including the UV protector on the windshield to help with the Texas Sun.
Stock lowering bolts and add some camber for the track.
Maybe a sticker license plate like I have run in the past.
Then just Daily Drive this beast!
Once the engine mods get worked out in a year or so by all of the manufacturers I'll probably derestrict the engine as I do all of my engines. Tune and intake only most likely.

The ride height is about the same as the non Z06, ZR1 C6. About 1 3/4" from top of rear tire to fender. On my C6 Z06 this is about 7/8" from the factory. All C6 Z06's are lowered from the factory.

I believe that CAGS is an acronym standing for Computer Aided Gear Selection, which really means that it is a solenoid in the manual transmission that forces a shift directly from 1st gear to 4th to aid fuel economy. This is a highly hated feature that can be defeated a number of ways, the easiest being the way you drive.
Has anybody heard of a clear paint/ coating intended for auto paint? I think it comes from Rustoleum and it basically alows you to spray on a clear bra.
