Default Just picked up a Black 2015 Z51 2LT....Wow!!

Hello Everyone,

Just sealed the deal on a 15 Z51 2LT (Black) and this baby roars compared to my C6 2007 Base Coupe. I can't believe how wonderful she rides....it's a comfortable ride in Tour mode. What a difference 8 car cycle years make. I ended up putting side skirts on it the same day!!

Congrats, and welcome to the forum!

My previous Vette was an '06 coupe and I couldn't imagine anything better...until I bought my C7 Z51 coupe. Truly great, well-designed automobiles that really know how to get up and go.

Here's to years and years of driving enjoyment...

If you take a look at them on their website you will notice there isn't a brand associated with the product.

They carry both carbon flash and gloss black....I went with the carbon flash....less flash, lol. It took me less than an hour to install them myself in my garage. Rivots work out much better than screws, which is what I had to use when I installed side skirts on my C6

Very nice move. When you trade every couple years you notice incremental changes. However when you keep your Corvette longer term get your $ out of the car and like move from a 2007 C6 to a 2015 C7 Z51 the change in power, electronics, ride, suspension, interior and just about all features is wow factor significant. You did good, enjoy!
