Very nice!

Where did you get them painted/installed?

I'm not too far away from you.

Hey, I am just off Sunset Lake...

These are Corvette Pilot's work, they are powder coated, not painted...

Hendrick had to do some warrenty work so they installed them as well...
Matt Flowers is who I work with over there and he is great!

If you ever want to do anything to your car (Exhaust or the like) I have a lift in my garage if you need it...

I'm probably not even 10 minutes away from you. I'm off Bass Lake.

Very nice work indeed...as far as getting anything done with the exhaust and whatnot...I'm not what you would consider mechanically inclinded when it comes any sort of "do it yourself" type of installs, so I'd more than likely end up over at Hendrick's service dept. for that.

I'm curious, what did they charge you to toss those on?

I got screwed over there the other day when I was in for my oil/filter change. I ended up checking out the parts while I was waiting and bought the SS door sills and the body matching license plate frame. After I bought them, the guy who was working the service counter, Dan I think, was like "oh let us put those on for you quick..."

So I was like, ok sure I appreciate that.

They charged me $20 to swap the plate frame and the sills...I didn't notice until I got home, but I thought that was pretty weak of them. While there it seemed like he was simply offering to put them off because they were quick and they had already been doing my oil/filter work. And then to get billed $20 for what took them 5 minutes? Rediculous.

Still...I've typically had great service there, from the sales team as well.

I'll definitely keep you in mind if I ever do get inclined to do anything that would require the lift.

No problem, I also would be glad to help, I do most of my own stuff, except I don't mess with brakes...

Looks OK. Just have never been a fan of all those silver rivets. Too busy looking. I do like the black wheels better than the silver car with comp gray wheels. Silver needs a little contrast.

Red calibers look super with the black wheels.

Maybe they needed to mention the $20.00 charge but I think it was $20.00 well spent. While the plate frame is easy the door sills are a little more work. They charged you rate for 15 minutes. So your choice of words, "Ridiculous" is ludicrous.

Question, why the stingray emblem? Looks good, but just curious.
