Default Ive been Z'd

Finally I got my Z, after 7 months, thank God. I posted about a month back sayn that my dealer was jerkin me around, he continued to do so. I waited them out and after some pullin teeth and speekin with GM I GOT MY QS Z.This car is insane i love every minute with it. Everything about this car is wonderful. The only thing i can complain about is the service at chevy. I have a few questions though. Where the heck is the wheel lock, I looked in the trunk rail, I think? Did any of you guys have gummy gray spots on the body of the car, mine did but i bought the zaino clay bar and Z1,Z2 so they came right out(ZAINO :eek: :eek: rocks). My QS body color looks like it is from different batches, meaning discolorations and not the same color on the whole car. Other than that I love this beast, and by the way i think the stereo is really good especially coming from those four titanium speakers :yesnod: . I dont post mush on here but i raed about 1.5 hours a day, you guys were so helpful in all of my decisions thanks alot.

I received a special socket for mine. It was in the console. I haven't really look at it that close but will when the time comes.

My QS body color looks like it is from different batches, meaning discolorations and not the same color on the whole car.
That is the nature of QuickSilver Metallic. Depending on which way you look, it appears dark or light or something there abouts.(thats why you got the metallic color) I think it's great. All of the QS look a tad different thats what makes it such a great color no two are the same. :D

Congrats! :cheers: Glad you finally got it! :D When I had my pewter 99, I thought it had been repainted since it was different shades at whatever angle you were looking from. But the other metallic colors (QS, SS) were doing the same thing. So I just Zaino'd it some more! :D :D

Congratulations! :cheers:

Are your lug nuts chrome or do you have the gray lug nut covers? I hear that the newer builds use chrome lugs and with no wheel lock.
