Do they make them for the base C6?
Sorry for the delay in responding but I needed to confirm. Yes, they will be available for the narrow body base C6 as well as in a couple of different colors.

What an awesome event. Thanks for all the kind words about the event photos. I had the very distinct honor to spend a great deal of time with Ron Fellows and his family as well as Mr. Bob Bondurant and his wife Pat. I also spent time with Michael Brown who wrote and produced the movie The Quest. For those who don't know, The Quest is the story about Chip Miller and Lance Miller's "Quest" to find and restore the 1960 LeMans winning Cunningham Corvette. If you haven't seen this movie, you need to. It is a fantastic story that I promise, if you have a heart, will leave a tear in your eye. Having met Chip Miller and getting to know Lance Miller in last couple of years just made this all the better.

The emblems are nice, they were first seen on the Z06X concept.

Sorry, the Carlisle Blue sucks period. The wheels look strange, don't think I would order them. The all black look is too much. Although with all the flake in Carbon Black it does look good. The pics are great though !

Here is a (albeit not so great photo) from the Bash introduction from April. They are the same wheels as on the non-Centennial Grand Sport but finished in the satin black. There is no red on the outer lip of the Grand Sport wheel because of the spoke design.

Paul, by any chance do you know if a DVD of the QUEST will be available for purchase ?

I just watched a clip on Youtube, and it looks awesome.

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting. I was at the NCM about ten days ago while visiting family in Ky. First time there. Very nice place. While there also went to the Corvette plant. Had not been there since it opened in 1981. Have to say that the plant was unimpressive. Production is low I realize. Just uninspiring workers...mostly older (UAW of course) folks. Slow-motion effort....I'll stop. Have probably hijacked enough already.

Again...great pics, thanks.

Thanks, that answers another question I had. I knew I had seen them before.

I would love to have a set of these. Anyone have information on how to obtain some?

Yes (well, synthetic anyway) on the seat back and base, door arm pads, center console, shift boot, shift **** and steering wheel.
