This is my exhaust upgrade. I put on a MSRB Exhause, it was a good price and was a straight through pipe for max flow; it also eliminated the exhaust valve. Sounds boss! Very happy.
It's been a month and a half since I picked up my new 2017 C7 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible - Arctic White - 2LT - Red/Black 2 Tone - M7, so it was finally time to get started with customizing it to my taste.
Today I installed the GM C7 Grand Sport Embroidered Armrest, GM Mobile 1 Dry Sump Oil Filter Cap, LLOYD's Luxe Driver & Passenger Mats with C7 Cross Flags & Grand Sport Emblems, LLOYD's Ultimat Cargo Mat with C7 Cross Flags & Grand Sport Emblem, Sandyeggo Designs C7 Corvette Seat Belt Stays, West Coast Corvettes C7 LED Trunk and License Plate Lighting.
I still have more bits waiting to go on, and more en route. I do like the way you can fine tune the details of Corvettes to a greater degree than almost any other car.
Washed and used Adam's Buttery Wax. I'm a convert now. The finish looked like it was perfect. Wet and Deep gloss look. I didn't clay bar as the instruction sad but it still came out fantastic.
The wife and I went out to marina del rey to one of our favorite dinner spots and I am still surprised at the looks we get. A couple of times, people walking down the street just stop and stared as we passed. C7 beauty is hard to resist.
Manufacturer responded to my forum post and said, "Don't mount the Controller behind the carpet it may get too hot. Suggest Zip Tie under dash."
Found wire bundle under dash but when Zip Tied to Controller wires it caused a connector to come loose. Used another method to mount to wires under dash. Now it is in the open air and no strain on the wires.
Top: Attached "O" Ring to Controller with tape to prevent slipping. Middle: Secured "O" Ring to Controller with Zip Tie. Bottom: Zip Tied "O" Ring to wires under dash with another Zip Tie.
BlockIt Sound Deadener for the cargo area and behind the seats
Lloyd GS Cargo Mat
Leave in place Jacking Pucks
Scheduled to have film put on the the front nose piece, full hood, and outside mirrors
And I'm pretty pleased with the results. When I bought my 2017 GS, Admiral Blue / Jet Black, back in April from stock (MacMulkin), I settled for black interior because I didn't want to wait 3-4 months for Adrenaline Red, not to mention the additional $595 color override charge--which, by the way is no longer an additional charge on the 2018's
So after 5 months of vacillating I decided to install fitted "leatherette" red seat covers from Seat Covers Unlimited here in Mesa, AZ. The color is almost a perfect match to the Adrenaline Red console lid I installed a few months ago and the fit is pretty damn good for only $300. The quality and texture of the material is better than I expected too.
As you can see from the cell phone pictures, there are some wrinkles and little puckering but most of that should smooth out over time. The nice thing about these covers, besides the price, is that I can remove them any time I want and go back to the original black. Here are a couple of before and after pics.
How does the leatherette material feel compared to the seat material? I've been considering these covers.
