Added ACS Zero1 Side skirts in Flash Black! Like the subtle look--but kind of hard to get a photo. (Splitter from a different vendor planned if it ever ships . . .)








Plus an interior shot just for fun:

Now six months old, here's my still new-at-heart GS with original red top and newly added trans top. I like the looks of the TT best, but in summer it builds too much heat inside the car, so it's going to be a fall-winter-spring thing. Just swapped it out today.

A beautiful car either way but it does look especially nice with the black top. It is good to have the choice and not broil in the summer.

Painted stinger on hood, not vinyl sticker. Since picture was taken I installed Signature forged 19/20 SV103 - 10 spoke gloss black wheels.

Thanks. The blackness of the TT blends in well with the other black accents on the car, IMO. I picked up a nice used, like-new TT for a nice price three months ago. Buying both with a new car will give you a case of major sticker shock, so this is the way to go if you don't mind waiting for the right deal. I was patient.

Very nice looks just like my 2017 Z06 VERT! Definitely a upgrade just because of the color alone even though yellow would be my second choice if the color red disappeared.
