Those wheels look really, really good on the CE. I'm thinking what direction I want to go with mine and had given black chrome some thought, but wasn't sure how it would look. My compliments on your ride....very, very nice.

Thank You. Yes, I was debating the black chrome for a while and took a risk because there aren't many people on here that run this particular finish so I didn't really have a reference. They look even better in person. I'm pretty sure black chrome will look good on any color Vette

Great looking job on the console. I need some details. Where did you buy the wrap and what type was it. How many people were involved in the wrap process. Did you have to use adhesive anywhere. What did you use to heat up the wrap to make it fit correctly. (Hair dryer, or heat gun.
I tried to wrap a spare console, and I couldn't get it to look right.

Just spent 45 minutes on my back/upside down/standing on my head polishing the exhaust tips. Not my favorite job, but sure looks better when it's done.

Removed rotors and painted the hats with high-temp black. Spring popped out of the first rear rotor/parking brake assembly. Thanks to the forum it only took me about an hour to get back in.

Absolutely beautiful day today, washed the GS, took the top off and went for an hour cruise. Turned up the tunes and just cruised. Gotta get another weekend and hit skyline drive.
