I love it!! Funny doing a workout today when my mind was wondering that color combo hit me as my next choice. Unfortunately I hate the wheels.........but for me that would be a quick fix. I vowed on my next car to go with custom wheels anyway........make the car a little distinct.......... there are too many look alkies on the roads. Custom wheels would change the entire look of that car with such a contrasting interior and make it even sweeter.

Ken,

Pennsylvania went to seven digits on the plate in March of 1988. I filled out the form for the plate and went to the DMV the first day and was first in line when they opened at 8am. The person at the desk ran my request and said it is not taken so I got it. There is another plate in my state like it. My is CORVETE with the letter O There is one C0RVETE with number 0.

This is an awesome combination.... and I think your wheel choice is perfect...chrome might be too much, and black would take away from the contrast in colors..... Congratulations!

Looks great. Love the blue and red together and HATE that GM charges an override fee for this.

The red seats really add a cool dimension to the car. Very classy!
