Beautiful car. Black is so pretty, but so hard to keep clean.

Yes I know what you mean. I have two black vettes. But I think the red one is much easier to keep clean for a longer period of time.

New 19/20 iforged flux, but I don't know if I'm feeling them. They looked much better on the slammed silver z06 they came off of.
