And that's the way, uh huh uh huh, we like it.

Uh huh.

Or should I say, Bravo!

Also, I notice that once again Chevy knows just the right wheels to put on their Corvettes. Every generation seems to come with perfectly matched rims from the factory. The slotted mags on my 1978, the modified slots on my 88, the Cuisinart rims on my 1990, and now these on the C7. Just great.

Truly a beautiful car. Thanks for posting the pics.

Nice photos LBRc7! I like those skirts, I'm considering changing mine, I'm tired of the z06 style. Your ride looks great!

That's the best looking red Corvette I've seen since my Monterey Red C6.

I like Long Beach Red but A Torch Red Vette looks so much better. Especially when compared side by side.

Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Default 2016 LBR on order - questions

Hi all:

I probably should have come here before ordering my 2LZ LBR but I have put together everything I wanted. After the build and price, I noticed that the rear tail lights look black and that is what I want. I also see some with white tail lights. Is there a way to choose or should I just black them out? I got the carbon fiber painted spoilers since the others are on constraint. I also got the PDR and the yellow calipers for some pop.

Help!!

The ZO6 comes with "clear" tailights, they appear to look white in some light.
Regular Stingrays come with red tailights.
If you want them "blacked" out, you will have to do that yourself with after market parts.
Your build sounds like it will be a beauty!!
Hope this helps!!

There's a company called GS Creations that makes tail light covers that look good. I have them and am happy. I've seen others on here that have the tails tinted, those look good too.

The covers are nice because they are easily reversed:

I know these are mass produced cars and they will never become collectors but my LBR with Brownstone just became a one year combo! Brownstone is gone in 2017!

I saw a Stage 1/1LZ LBR Z06 in a local Chevrolet show room on Sunday. It had the ebony interior with the nickel finish silver wheels and looked great. Although I am planning on the 3LZ interior option, I really like the simplistic look of the ebony interior matched up with LBR.

Those dummies! Brownstone is the best interior color by far.

Brownstone was only available in the high-end trim packages. That's probably why it didn't sell as well.

It is safe to say that a good number of mass produced cars have become collectors items.

I like your black calipers. The one I saw had red calipers, and although they didn't look bad and actually looked better than I thought they would, I think the black match up better with LBR.

With the announcement of the new 2017 colors, I'm still down to Arctic White/Adrenaline Red or Longbeach Red/Ebony. Both Stage 2/3LZ.

I also saw a LBR Stingray with silver stripes. That also looked good.
