Personally I love my bladesilver vert.
Only 4% and it's such an awesome color, complimenting the lines and trim of the car.
After searching local dealers inventory almost everyday for the last month on the Internet. I finally found what I wanted, they had it out in the back lot, with the interior still wrapped in plastic. Only 4 miles on the odometer. Fresh, no others folks test driving my new baby, just the way I like my new cars. Breakin done right! I always wonder when a new car has 20,30 or so mile on them, just how hard were those first few miles. Z51/LT2/A8

The plant will select cars at random, so it is possible to get a brand new Vette with 20-30 miles.
When I was at the plant, at the end of the line, I saw one of the employees spin the wheels for 7 or 8 feet driving it over to the alignment stand. He didn't care how he treated someone's $80,000 baby.
Is that front "grill" a factory option? If so, which one?

Wow, I love that front "grill".... is that a factory option? If so, which one? I love that it does not have the chrome horizontal stripe, and love the brake air intakes on each lower side.

Thanks....The front grill is a Z06 grill I installed. I also painted the brake ducts
an aluminum metal paint.....not wanting it to match the OEM silver but
to be a contrast and be more "metallic". Got lots of "No Like" comments on the duct paint... but have noticed a vendor is now selling Z06 grills with the ducts painted the OEM body colors....I still like how the paint accents the ducts and breaks up the big mouth of the grill.
