I guess we're a little prejudice, but we love the color and how it changes, amazing. Yours looks Great Too. I like the side skirts, are they stock? I have SunTek on my rocker panels, but I see little nicks already from all of the small stones on the roads and figured they would be the best protection.
Enjoy the Ride and Stay Cool

Yeah they are OEM skirts and front splitter. I read a lot about how they can protect the rockers from rocks, and I got a decent deal on XPel ultimate so I got that too, and OEM splash guards. So far I haven't found any rock chips yet, so it's a good combo. Still it's inevitable, so I'm not gonna stress about it when it happens.
Today on my drive home from work, an older guy pulled up next to me at a light and rolled down his window and shouted something at me. At first I thought he was angry about something but then he gave me a thumbs up and repeated: "GREAT CAR, LOVE THAT COLOR!" to me.
Finally got it washed after museum delivery and a 2300 mile trip home. This is a fun car to photograph because it has really nice angles. I just have to echo everyone that says pictures don't do LBR justice, because, well they don't.
I tinted the side markers with the vinyl overlays, I just wanted to see if I liked them before I roll with the actual tinted side markers. I think I like them. I also added the small Z51 decals from Vettefx on the side vents, I think it adds a nice little detail. Tint shop on Friday for ceramic tint, 15% back and quarters, 35% on drivers and passengers. Then ACS skirts and a stage one Z splitter.
Whew. This car is really, really nice, I'm glad it's finally here.
Thanks Ammo! This color really looks exceptional with chrome. I'm not a chrome or black wheel guy so I thought the machine faced was a nice middle ground. I really like the Z style Gunmetal wheels but I'll be more than happy with these for a while.
Bob-G, I did 3Lt black interior. I really liked the look of the dash and suede headliner together. The fit and finish in my car is excellent, the materials look really good.
Yeah I like that Z51 too. Nice touch. Also I think with your particular combinations, the black mirrors were a good decision as well. Very nice color combination on your car.
Yours looks really good too Scott! I like you splitter and the z spats. I actually have those, I'm thinking of sanding and painting them carbon flash. Did you modify those yourself?

I got them already modified from a guy over on CorvetteForum.com. Doesn't look hard to do, but you need to get them up under the wheel well carpet which is a bit of effort. The holes line up perfectly with the Stingray holes though, no drilling needed.
I really considered painting mine carbon flash too, but in the end decided against it. These are pretty flexible, and I felt that the paint might crack and come off at some point. The aftermarket ones floating around for thousands of dollars are made of more rigid materials like carbon fiber and might not have that problem. Getting them back off for re-painting seemed like more effort than it's worth to make them match everything else. After having them on for a week, I can say I like them just fine the way they are. Probably because they're next to the tires, they don't need the extra shine or glitter of carbon flash like I thought they would to look nice.
That looks great Ammo! Chrome and LBR are a really good match, excellent choices. I can't wait to see a better photo of the Brownstone, that one is a little washed out.
I'm happy to say she is finally here. Loving the color, especially in the bight sunlight. I had never seen my color combination in the flesh, but I am pleased, she is a beauty. Plus I still have time to get her out of Canada and down to Phoenix for the winter.

Nice! The driver needs to adjust the seat to see over the steering wheel.
Well mine finally made it to the dealer and I plan to pick it up Monday. Here are a few shots from Ken.
Long Beach Red, Auto, Chrome, Brownstone, Z51.
Great looking car Ammo!! I know it's been a long time coming, but you're going to truly enjoy it. I just had my windows tinted, pics to follow soon..

Very Nice. Looks like we got the same car except I got the coupe version. Your pilot seems a little short but I bet he has his head out the window when its moving!

I must say I love your car too. I struggled long and hard on whether to get a coupe or a soft top, there really is no wrong choice here. I am happy the dealer convinced me to get the Brownstone interior, I really wanted the color to carry onto the dash and doors. I think this understated combination of red and brown just exudes class.
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
