Not much to say... YEEEHAAA! Finally got my Vette. It's not a Miata replacement, but an addition.

It really deserves respect. It's a scary car to drive. First mod will either be a cf spoiler or remove the 5% tint in the side windows, I can't see out to make turns. Terrible.

I'll try to add a pic in a bit.

Welcome! and Congrats! If you have a Miata, you now have the best of both worlds. The M is a great sports car and the Vette will provide a lot of fun, as its big, muscular brother.

Never heard of anyone using %5 before as it might as well be blacked out totally. Yes, you are certainly smart to get rid of the tint.

Tough job I think - would not even try the hatch with all that curved glass - probably better to remove the stuff on the two side windows and replace it with something more reasonable to balance the dark stuff in the hatch...

But whatever - no biggie - Major Congrats

Contras on a good looking car.
