Got My First Vett Ever !!!!
Guy's after 10 years of wanting and drooling I got my baby !!!!! A 2001 Quicksilver 6 speed with 16000 miles on her !!!
Thanks for all the reading over the years i really learned a lot....
The only questions I have are.....
1 : My car did not come with a matched color body roof.. Where can I get one ????
2: I hear of the oil issue with the 2001 can I replace any certan parts to make this issue less of an issue lol....
Again my thanks to all of you owners you make my road a MUCH better ride lol...............Asab

Asab,
Congrats on the new Vette!
Feels great, don't it?
As for your questions, check ebaymotors maybe for the roof panel. I'll let some '01 owners comment on the oil issue, if it really exists.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the forum!
I would browse the CF C5 parts for sale/wanted section for the roof. Good luck
