Default First posted car pic

I promised I would post a pic of my car after I got it. Here it is after its first bath. First time I've washed a car by hand in about 30 years. Just got back from Spring Mountain last night -- a 650 mile round trip. The car was pretty dirty. Only had 140 miles on it before the trip.

I've had it less than 2 weeks. I had cquartz finest applied, tinted the windows, and had side skirts installed. Very happy with it so far. Spring mountain was great: Fun and useful.

2LT Z51, M7, mag ride, black interior, comp seats, suede, CF dash. And probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

There's nothing better than a clean black C7.

Thanks -- I agree, and I am committed to keeping it clean. That's part of the idea behind applying cquartz finest: Easy to keep the car looking great. We'll see how it goes!

Stunning. Now add the Z06 front grill, and Z06 stage one front splitter.

Thanks! I do like the z06 grill, but I am happy enough with the current blacked out grill. Not sure I want a splitter -- the only reason I got the side skirts was to protect the paint. But I now love the look of the side skirts. Maybe have to rethink the splitter....

Sharp Car! Glad you enjoyed SM, I sure did as well but I drove a Chevy Spark from Vegas not near as impressive as your ride.

it's a little different than yours. It has the red interior, red stripe wheels, all badges emblems and side marker lights are blacked out.
