2020 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default New Toy :)

I just finally took delivery of a 2012 Centennial Edition GS... It has an extended warranty, so the engine will stay stock for now....







I had the car for 30 minutes before I started replacing all the mudguards with carbon fiber ones off my prior 07.

Hopefully by the end of the week, I ll have the CF diffuser installed, CF side skirts and my CF5 Forgestars on it. Right now, I have the fronts on it an the rear portion of the side skirts mounted.

congrats. I think the CE GS is the best of the GS models, in my bias opinion of course. Did you happen to buy the 4LT model I saw here on the "for sale forum"? Mine is the 3LT model with the exception of chrome wheels.

Joey, it just dawned on me that we conversed via private messages, right? Yeah, I see you live across the river from me, that's you. Do you not have the solid roof panel for your car?

Your car and darkvette were the ones that convinced me to shoot for the Centennial GS. Mine is a 3lt auto, glass roof with stripes, NPP, Nav, ect. Its bone stock with 2 yrs 4 months left on the extended warranty.

I have a list of basic things to do this week already, based on my "new car high"

I already contacted an expel installer about putting matte expel ultimate on the stripes and I had new TPMS sensors installed on my forgestars.

I'm just going to have to get used to the super low clearance up front and the fact that the seats feel a little lower and softer than the seats in my 07, which was an LT2.

Love the chrome, I think it goes well with the metallic finish of the car and provides nice contrast from the car and the tire.

If the Forgestars ( which are gloss black) don't contrast enough when I put them on, I'm going to refinish them in black chrome.

its........ interesting. I didn't even notice it until I sat in the car and looked up. I always assumed it was a regular glass roof. Hence my message to you about your roof...lol.
