You bought the right color. Make sure you put a coat of polish on the lexan roof to protect it from the sun. I use Zanio on my whole car. Roof, Body, Wheels.

Default Red vette

Congratulations on your new toy ! I own a 03 Torch Red coupe also. Bought it last year and love it, mine had 71,000 on it when I got it and Iit just turned 80,000 miles 11 months later. I’m 67 and I intend to drive it not park it. It’s not a investment, it’s a lifelong dream fulfilled. As for reliability I’ve had a water pump go south, and it’s has the EBCM module issues which I’ve not addressed yet ( $200-$400 cost). Also new plugs and wires just because it’s 15 yrs old. Future items , 2013 C6 Z06 shocks and 2013 Z51 sway bars which I’m told will improve handling greatly. A Corsa exhaust system would be nice plus a cold air intake. Like I said earlier not really a investment but it does do wonders for my mental health, everyday I get in and start it UP😀 And that makes it a BARGAIN!!!!!
IMHO, Bodyman Bob

Congratulations and welcome! There's a TON of knowledge posted on this forum. Most things can be answered doing searches, if ya can't find it; fire away. I don't chime in much 'cause by the time I see threads there's usually around 30 replies already. lol

Whatever polish you use on the car is good for the roof too.
