thank you george vee.

haha i saw your posts earlier grady, i have respect for all the CB owners b/c they aren't afraid of choosing a color they like at risk of being scoffed at by other board members.

i read that there were only about ~430 CB produced in total....think about how rare that is compared to black or red.

Great minds think alike. I love it. One and done color.
I wish I had the black headlights. Didn't think about it at the time.
Good choice.

IMO every single color vette looks better w/ the black headlights. i want to see some photos of blade silver headlamps as that thought crossed my mind quite a bit when going through the purchasing process.

also im a pretty young guy (under 30) and my neighbors hate me. =( older gentleman 2 houses down everytime he sees me driving gives me the dirtiest look u could ever imagine. so whenever i drive home late at night i rev as loud as i can when i drive by his house lol.

Last year Tim at Bdwalk had a Jet Stream Blue with silver headlight buckets, silver GS hash marks, stock silver GS and chrome wheels.... I thought it looked Stunning. But an acquired taste I guess...took him a while to sell it.

As to your grey brakes...HUGH difference in color over stock silver...you will notice it when you see yours parked next to a stock GS.

Red brakes--Z06 free
Silver brakes GS- free
Red brakes GS- $600
Silver brakes Z06- $600

GM- Thief
Corvette Owners/buyers- IDIOTS FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS CRAP (including this author (4 prior Vettes about to get #5)).

dude thats what im saying. i mean im not gonna go complain to GM or anything but it really is robbery.

if they could prove that it actually costs more to produce the gray brake calipers than the silver than id shut up but i highly doubt thast the case.
