Charlie, welcome to CF and big congrats on your Vette purchase! Just bought my first Vette (C5) a few months ago and still have the new Vette owners grin on my face. I'm sure you're going to love it. Tim

Congrats and welcome. Not sure I don't like the MSG better than my LPM. Sometimes think the Pewter is just a little too silver. Have had many gray vehicles over the years.
