Congrats! The next few months will be torture for you... Unless you decide to get winter rubber which many of us have done.

There's an option now for body color partial headlight vinyl/plastic/whatever covers? I didn't know that.
When did that start?

I got the dealership to paint the top headlights to black them out to give it that "evil" look. You can buy also the headlight over lays called the evil eyelid look. I saw this on a black and gold C7 in wrap like this and liked how the head lights really change the looks of the car! It gives it that mean aggressive Ferrari look. 😎

They sure are beautiful cas aren't they ? When I went to go pick mine up at the dealership they still got the blue grand sport with the red hashtags and next to it is the torch red with black hashtags. The torch red really stands out with the black ground effects, black rims and black high spoilers

Mind me asking what brand tires you bought, winter or all season, non run flat or not. I looked for all season non run flats and haven't been able to find any for stock GS size. Thanks

I second BJONES question... So we have 2017 GRAND SPORTS. But we can run any Z06 Tire. So.. What is a Winter/cold weather tire we can run?

My GS has the standard Michelin super sport tires. On my 2011 Camaro I have Nitto Invo tires and I can actually get away with driving that car in the winter . According to OK Tire The Invo's perform better than the Michelin's except for in tight corners he said the Michelin super sport are better for taking really tight fast corners . The problem with the size of our back tires is that not too many tire companies make these tires and 20 inch but Nitto has a 20 inch tire it's a little bit wider than the standard tires that's on the gS but you don't have to worry about those cracking in the wintertime. I myself may look into getting a set of those for the Corvette .
