That combo is really really nice-did you consider putting a black stinger on that baby? I think it would work great. If so now might not be a bad time as the car is on hold.

All good today, The car was paid for on Thursday evening, so the actual delivery date was before the stop order. I respect that they had to wait for the powers that be to review everything. Great vehicle that is replacing a Ferrari 430... NO REGRETS ... Bravo GM!

David I'm sure it will be a lot cheaper to maintain than the 430. I am keeping my 360 cause I love it. I also am looking forward to the Z06 that I have ordered. Hope your car clears quickly, but sounds like they will correct the issue quickly. You patience will pay off with a great car.

Where are these edges available?

Great looking color... The black / carbon trim looks really good with that color. Gives the car a little more aggressive look.

Great pics. .... Thanks 4 sharing.

I'll try to get better photos in better light soon.
Really nice. Congratulations.

I know some people here have said that the excitement is dying down, but that has not been my experience. I can't go anywhere without people rolling down their windows to yell that they love the new C7, overhearing people exclaim on sidewalks, have people pull U-turns to come talk about it when they see me park, etc.

Nice, I think I may like it better than CG. But in some lights that thing is going to all but invisible.

Saw the color today at Corvette FunFest. I do not care for Shark Gray but it is just my opinion.

I'm ordering a Shark Grey with double black hood stripe DTH, 2LT kalahari int, Z51 Appearance pkg. Wanted the stripe to give the car a more corvette>>>> look. Without the striping, I feel I would be ordering just another CTS. What are your cmts?? I have 48 hours to decide if I want to change to a blk hood Stinger DTW.

What effects does polishing./waxing have on the vinyl. Can I remove later without damage if I decide I don't like it? Also, does anyone know the nil effects, if any, of the striping installed on the lexan transparent roof?? Can that be removed without any damage to the lexan?
