From what i was told, when my car pulled up to the dealership with the original owner, I was told by the salesmen and dealer owner ( know them all as we grew up together ) EVERYBODY went to the window to see this 04 Torch Red covered with just about every imaginable "bling" that Ecklers, Corvette America and Corvette Central sells along with about 20 miles of black pin stripping tape. From what I was told it took the guys in the shop 2 days to remove 95% of the bling off of the car. When I purchased it , it took me another 2 days of removing what was left. Picture a black interior with pearlecent Lime Green dash overlays on just about everything. And to boot , the old dude that owed it used Crazy Glue on the corners of the overlays that started to lift. After 2 cans of Goo Gone, some replacement interior parts ( can't remove dried crazy glue ) the car and interior was back to its original condition !
