Drove it wine tasting in VA yesterday with the top down, and drove it wine tasting today with the top up (it was raining).

Just got done vacuuming the floor carpets, polishing the exhaust tips, cleaning the chromies, and applying Griot's Long-Lasting Tire Shine. Getting ready to drive it to work tomorrow which is supposed to be a clear, sunny day.

Installed Elite Engineering catch can, swapped the 1940s era cargo area bulbs to LEDs to match the rest of the interior lights, installed new CF plate frame. Will wait for a bit warmer day to install the carbon flash front grill strip and the TKO Attack Blue air filter. It was nice to see the sun today.

Beautiful sunny day out so I drove it to work and around town afterwards. Detailed it after I put it away in the garage.

Finally installed the Carbotech brake pads, front and rear. I sanded the rotors as suggested by Carbotech with 50 Grit paper.
Cleaned the rotors calipers and wheel wells. Then I cleaned the wheels, polished them and then coated them with Cquartz.
That was about a 6-7 hour process, LOL.
Then I drove about 150 miles, and admired how clean the wheels are.
There is a very slight white dust on them, but nothing like the Z51 pads. And I think for street driving these brake pads are excellent.
Thanks Adam

Had some spare time this weekend and I put some work in with illustrator and the vinyl cutter. Made the Jake hood stringer and some matching heritage racing stripes. Did them all up in flat black wrap quality vinyl, was going to do it in Carbon Fiber but I figured I would test it out with the cheaper material LOL... She also got washed and detailed, long weekend. 
I may make some hash stripes for the fender next...

What did you do to your C7 today?
It was sunny, about 50 degrees. My wife texted me from work and asked if I wanted to go for a drive after she got home. I think she is enjoying the new toy. We put on another 45 miles - up to 429 total. Also had the first fill-up.
Nice little addition to our Valentine's Day.
