I picked up this 7500 mile 2017 Stingray 2LT in St. Louis in April for $47,000.00 minus $7,000.00 for my 1999 C5 trade in that had 120,000 miles. $40,000.00 out of pocket for a recently broke in C7 with dark tinted windows and Z06 replica wheels, plus the previous owner paint matched the rear end to give it a clean, classy look. I built the same car online brand new for $65,000.00!
Going from the Flintstones to the Jetsons!
Cant tell if I love or hate it
I definitely think I'd like it more with a body colored spoiler.

Congrats and glad you like it, personally I like everything except the *** end, it just looks strange to me.
Love the car Jim gotta get up there and check out that bridge, hope you can make it to our Corvettes on the lawn get together Aug 25 in London Oh. Theres a group of us headed to the til of the Dragon in Tennesee Aug 6th more than welcome to join. I am leaving overseas today and will be in London July 19th.
I probably wouldn't do this myself, but then I'm driving a WGG car on which the change wouldn't be great.
That said, it is one of the more tasteful appearance changes you'll see, and I think it works well on AW.
The black 'vette is all one color and looks great; so why not all white? I fell in love with this one when I found it online and grabbed it pronto! It was a hell of a find at that price.

The Stingray is like a beautiful woman who doesn't need any make-up to look sexy. Add on spoilers and all that other stuff is just make-up on the street. If I ever take her to the prom (track), I'll get her all dolled up.
The more I look at it, the more I like the all white. I just think I'd add a body colored spoiler. I'd also remove the chrome- especially grill, as it takes away from how clean the white is all around. Maybe consider white for the side markers too (arctic white plasti-dip is great and a close color match)

I like the one color rear bumper, one of main reasons I ordered a black C7. I am surprised it is not a factory option.

Chrome gets so much hate these days. I have always loved it. I used to love the chrome Formula 1 Mercedes that Jensen Button used to drive.

i have to thank my wife and two friends who very generously helped with the crown molding, chair rail, painting and Racedeck floor installation. Special thanks to Rachel Littlefield at Racedeck. She’s a garage savant IMO! And she honored a nice discount through Garage Journal too. Klearview cabinets from Menards. So pleased how it all turned out!!!
One of the few times it has been parked in front of our home. This was late August, 2017.
