I also think it looks good. Plus, how many people can say they came out of a dealer service mistake ahead (after reading some of the horror stories lately).

The stinger matches that very nicely. Without that, I'd be less apt to like it on there.

Yeah, with the $2000 base price increase and approx. $600 for the spoiler I'm really getting a great deal.

Thanks for that perspective.

Default My first corvette

This is my first Vette. I got to say I love it. It's my daily driver and one of the best cars I have ever owned.

High Dynamic Range. It is typically accomplished by combining multiple images taken at different exposures into one composite image.

It used to require a lot of work and time along with multiple images to go through for all of the exposures, and now it's doable with either a few, or even with a cell phone in some cases.

Really makes an image pop.

I always hand wash and detail myself. My cars are just like my wife, my hands are the only one's trusted.

Bob,
I like the black wheels. How did they come about?

Spray cans, 3 coats of black Plasti Dip & a light coat of Duplicolor clear for a little gloss and protection.

They were factory chrome 5 spoke, but with all the black accents on the C7 I prefer black wheels.

That's a really random mistake since the codes are so different.

Glad you got the color you're happy with, though!

Hi -- yeah.. well, it was originally ordered cyber grey and about half way thru the waiting period (ordered in jan car came in apr) the dealer was trying to change the color of a car they had ordered for dealership (or so the story goes) from grey to blue. I actually did notice the change on the chevy website where you can track your order but I didnt' think anything of it for some reason.. The exterior picture of the car went from grey to blue I thought it was odd but didnt' put two and two together. As it turns out I love laguna blue and I didnt' have to pay the $995 premium which is even better...

After a long wait (ordered on 11-18) and a 1,800 mile drive from the museum, we have or Laguna Blue StreK home! After a two week period to allow the XPEL to cure and thanks to Glen e's detailing advice, we have it all cleaned up and happy. We love it!
