I purchased it from EBay. Came painted to match the color of my car. It can be mounted with just 3m tape as provided but has the additional option to secure with two bolts. U have to drill two holes. I did not trust the 3 m tape only mounting so I bolted it. Removing the rear lights is required to install the bolts. Easy install but I took my time and measured multiple times to be sure to install it properly.

Seller was out of Texas.

I was about to ask the same question

Were you also joking about that being BEFORE you "buffered" it?

Nope.... Striped and buffed the paint after those pictures. Have three coats of sealer wax on it. Plan to put a couple of coats of butter wax on before Saturday.

Sweet..... I love the looks of a black car. My Trans Am was black. I was constantly detailing that car though.

Picked her up 3 weeks ago, 2007, 36k miles, she's just a baby.

Been registered here since I had my 1984, it was stolen so I never did get to post much/at all. Finally in a place to have another Vette again, so happy to be back where my butt belongs. My they have come a long way since the C4.

I hate the term "base", that's a beautiful Corvette so it is not "base", its got the great performer under the hood, corners like a jack rabbit and gets pretty good MPG.
I have a GS but in no way do I consider mine better than anyone else's, and I don't look up to the Z car either, different strokes for different folks.
